#373 Very Present Help Psalm 46.1
What happens when what we are really looking for and what we are looking at don’t match?
We don’t find what we are looking for!
I read your text it made me smile " what am I looking for?" Rick says I rifle thru old baggage and asks me "what are you looking for in there?" Stop opening your baggage and just get rid of them. There's nothing in there that is helpful, no answers, just old stuff, it doesn't matter "why" stop trying to figure it out, that's REACTION. Chose your RESPONSE, be free of the old baggage. Sounds good, need to hang this around my neck.
“Let us lay aside every weight and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us….” Hebrews 12:1
Weight: #3591 a mass, (as bending or bulging by its load), i.e. burden (hindrance)
Beset #2139; from 2095, compound of #4012 and #2476: well standing around, ie. a competitor thwarting (a racer) in every direction
The image of bulging baggage comes to mind: the ‘extra baggage’ that we tote around as we attempt to run.
There may be times when we need to deal with our old baggage with outside help. And there are many times when our attempts to analyze the baggage just adds to the problem.
I appreciated this reminder: "Live fully in the present depending on Me each moment."
Living in the past of the future tends to distract our attention from the present moment, the moment over which we have the power to choose in Christ.
We can rifle through our old thinking or we can claim the Love and Protection of our Abba Father.
“God is our refuge and strength, a VERY-PRESENT help in trouble.” Psalm 46:1 NASB
The word ‘very’ is Strong’s #3966: vehemence {display of strong feeling; passion}.
He is passionately and intensely available to us in this present moment.
