Devotional - Tension

 Scriptures for Tension

"They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."  Isa - 40:31

"Learn to wait upon the Lord - for He shall give you strength.  Never trust that this old world will give you strength, only the Lord can do this."

Put you hope in the Lord.  And Trust.  He will give you what you need when you need it.   Amen.

This was my Bible study notes, for those days that I experience tension.   I used to be at home for many years, then suddenly my more or less quiet world changed.   I've been working in the retail world since 2021, that has been quite a change for me.   Some days, work goes well and my nerves aren't too bad, then there are days that really seem to stress me out.    Reflecting upon these scriptures have helped me to not focus so much on me or my own strength, but rather the strength of the Lord.    If I were to place my trust in what the world has to offer, I would be depressed.   With all the different "stresses" in the world, why would I want to place my hope in what is going on nowadays.   There isn't much "hope" in the news.   The world is basically falling apart.   I would rather place my hope and trust in the Lord, He alone can give me hope.   Do not let your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Nahum 1:7 - The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and He knows them who trust in Him.

Whatever is on your heart and mind give those things over to Him.   His yoke is easy and burden is light.
