Faith is the difference between concerned and consumed

Wednesday Word
She sat still, as was her custom to do every morning before doing anything else. The music tugged at her heart, massaging it gently, softening the soul. Her eyes welled up as she revisited the news from the day before from one of her dearest friends.
 
Thank you for joining us today for Wednesday’s Word with Kim-Evinda and Trench Classes United. What do we do when we get bad news? Does it concern us, or do we allow it to consume us? Today’s blog will share the difference.
 
“Lord, I know, from experience, that YOU use ALL things, so I’m asking you to reveal the good from this one sooner than later.” The “C” word (not COVID) had struck again, too close to home with this friend and his family.
 
Psalm 138:8: The Lord will perfect that which concerns me.
 
No matter what situation you or I find ourselves in, this verse is a powerful source of encouragement. It can be a life preserver amid the sea, an anchor for our souls. What is so sovereign about this verse is it speaks to us differently EVERY time we read it.
 
Why or how? Because life keeps happening and with life comes different storms of trials and circumstances.
 
Friend, in this global time of uncertainty, may I encourage you to look at this verse, read it, then say it aloud again and again. I guarantee you that when you do this and allow it to soak into your soul, it will bloom in your life:


Psalm 138:8: The Lord will perfect that which concerns me.
Now put the “thing that concerns you” in that portion of scripture. I’ll go first:
The Lord will perfect my friend’s family thru this bio duct cancer…
 
Here’s the condition to the promise: Does it concern us or consume us? If it’s consuming us, then we’re not trusting Him to perfect whatever it is that is concerning.
 
What is the “thing that concerns” you? Is it finances, your job, and all the other monetary things that are being threatened by this global pandemic? What if we were to live like we believed the words in this promise? Well, I can tell you by experience that He will use it to perfect you in the process to prepare you for the promise, not allowing ourselves to be consumed by that which concerns us.
 
Concerned but not consumed,
Kim-Evinda
