A Dose of Truth

The other day I glanced at the counter and then stopped to stare. Accumulated in one section was a plethora of options. Mostly for pain control, but some for nausea too--especially after our Thursday of serious stomach sickness, we had some options on hand. I've been thinking about how we view our lives and what we reach for when we want to control the pain or queasiness we feel.  I've been dealing with some anxiety again. Anxiety about the future, the present and the past. It is a battle for me. What am I reaching for? Something to relax the anxiety spasms for a few hours or the Truth that I know the One Who can give me perfect peace? 


Jesus knew that this world would give us trouble. It certainly gave Him no end of troubles! But He had a promise for those who follow Him. In John 16, He told His disciples that they would experience sorrow and trouble, but He had overcome all of that. Not only that, but He would be sending His Spirit of Truth! "I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33 ESV) I want to be consistently reaching for the Truth that overcomes the troubles of the world.  Just like a dose of pain medication, I need to take it at regular intervals to control those spasms of anxiety. 


I thank God for His Spirit that abides in me, reminding me of His Truth as well as His Words recorded in my Bible. My memory seems to be short and when the pain is at a level 8, I need a heavy dose.
