Joel Osteen Daily Inspirational Guide 21 March 2024 Thursday
When thoughts of fear, worry, anxiety, and panic come, you have to know where that’s coming from. That’s the enemy trying to lead you away from the still waters, so you get up upset and live on edge. No, go back to where God is leading: to the still waters, to the quiet pastures. Isaiah said, “In quietness and stillness shall be your strength.” The opposite is also true. Worry, fear, and anxiety are taking your strength, draining your energy, your joy, your passion. You have to quiet your soul. Come back to a place of peace. That’s when you’ll feel strength, confidence, and joy, even in the midst of a difficult time.
It’s significant that David was a shepherd. He had spent years taking care of his father’s sheep, fighting off wild animals, making sure they were okay. Even in the night, keeping an eye out for dangers and things that would try to sneak up and bring harm. It’s not a coincidence that he wrote Psalm 23. Before he penned, “though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil.” He started off the Psalm by saying, “The Lord is my Shepherd.” The reason David could say, “I will not fear in these dark valleys,” wasn’t because he was so strong, so courageous, that he never felt fear. No, it was because he knew he had a Shepherd. He knew the Most High was watching after him.
Quit living worried, afraid, wondering what might happen. Calm your soul. The Lord your Shepherd is watching over you. He didn’t bring you this far to leave you. Keep walking through the valley, trusting and believing that there are some surelys in front of you. Surely, you’re going to see beauty for ashes. Surely, that child is going to get back on course. Surely, your health is going to turn around. God is saying to us today, “Do not fear, for I am with you.
Do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and hold you with My victorious right hand.” Come on, let’s keep moving forward. Our greatest days are still in front of us. This setback is setting us up to go further, to shine brighter, to step into the fullness of our destinies.
