Faith Narcolepsy

This is what I am defining what I seem to be doing these days.  I am going on just fine.  God is good.  God is great.  God is going to see us through this situation.  New contact? Bills due? Nothing on the horizon? No problemo.  God has it under control!!!  Then...

It seems I fall asleep at the faith wheel.  I wake up and then AAARRRGGGHHH What is happening??    How are we going to make rent?????????  The sky is falling!!!

Then, I jolt myself and remember who I am, and that I am God's favorite kid and He will take care of me, and all is right with the world...until I fall asleep again.

So, the question I have is, how do I keep from being a narcolept?  I am getting a clearer handle on the situation, but I'm pretty sure that it is keeping my eyes fixed on Jesus.  It's like Peter.  He was so afraid, the wind was blowing.  The rain was coming down.  It was scary.   Jesus was walking on water.  WALKING ON WATER.  He called out to Peter, and asked him to come, and he did.  He climbed over the railing and didn't think twice.

It was when he started looking around and saw his circumstances that he began to sink.  This is where most people leave off the story.  However, he called out to Jesus and he was able to walk back to the boat.

Perhaps right now, like me, you are in your own storm.  Everything looks creepy and scary.  You can't really see a way out.  Well, Jesus is waiting to take your hand and help you walk on your circumstances.  There isn't one thing God is not able to do for you.  Sit back.  Keep your eyes on Him.  Remember who God is, and what He was willing to do just so you could have eternal life.  If God is willing to sacrifice His own son, and raise Him from the dead, what is He willing to do for you in your life right now?  Let this be a time of rejoicing.  You have a front row seat to see how awesome God is, and what He can do in your life.

Standing on the promises with you,

Marie
