I know that you feel the chaos in the world, where every day brings another example of people exploiting others for their own gain. I know that you grow weary from the voices vying for traction and attention as the world celebrates and upholds them. The dramas of culture and the half-truths of the media shout loudly, and you feel overwhelmed and unsure about the call I have placed on your life in the context of such chaos.
You question how you could possibly make a difference in times such as these. Beloved, trust my voice within you. You know Me, and you hear Me. My Spirit within you is so much greater than anything in the world – find rest in Me. Tune out of the chaos and tune into Me – as we walk together in My ways, your overwhelm will settle into rest. For the paths that I call you along are paved with wisdom and understanding – I have gone before you and made the way. I ask only for your trust, your surrender and your courage to keep moving forward. Do not be distracted by the atmosphere around you, instead find peace in My ways within you.
Activation:
Ask Holy Spirit to highlight to you the situations that have been bringing chaos into your life. Perhaps it is the voices that you are listening to, that do not have good intentions – or that have been content to diminish what God wants to do in you and through you. Take time with this, as He may bring to mind some things that you do not expect. Allow Holy Spirit to counsel you through this process.
Now, stand with Him at a crossroads and ask Him to show you the way to go; the road paved with ancient wisdom and infinite understanding. Ask Him to reveal to you the ways that you can move through the chaos, and instead find rest – this may involve laying down the things or people highlighted to you. He has promised you rest for your soul if you move away from the chaos surrounding you, when you step into Him. Ask Him to show you what it looks like in your life to walk in His good ways, and commit to taking those steps forward today. Declare aloud – ‘Jesus, I leave the chaos behind Me and step forward into your ways. I find rest for my soul in your presence.’
13 “For from the least of them even to the greatest of them,
Everyone is greedy for [unfair] gain;
And from the prophet even to the priest
Everyone deals deceitfully.14 “They have treated superficially the [bloody] broken wound of My people,
Saying, ‘Peace, peace,’
When there is no peace.15 “Were they ashamed because they had committed disgusting and vile things?
No, they were not at all ashamed;
They did not even know how to blush [at their idolatry].
Therefore they will fall among those who fall;
At the time that I punish them
They will be overthrown,” says the LORD.
16 Thus says the LORD,
“Stand by the roads and look; ask for the ancient paths,
Where the good way is; then walk in it,
And you will find rest for your souls.
But they said, ‘We will not walk in it!’Jeremiah 6:13-16 (AMP)
Little children (believers, dear ones), you are of God and you belong to Him and have [already] overcome them [the agents of the antichrist]; because He who is in you is greater than he (Satan) who is in the world [of sinful mankind].
1 John 4:4 (AMP)
