Today as I was burning an area in my yard a wind came up spreading the controlled fire to different spots in the yard becoming out of control. As I franticly started stomping these fires from one spot to another with my shoes other fires began to get worse. A neighbor saw what was happening and brought a hose with running water pouring out and fires were out. My heart and mind went from racing to release from stress to relief. So grateful for my neighbor coming over !
When I think back on that day and the feelings that went with the fire burning out of control I’m reminded of how many times situations puts my heart in a panic . Why? Do fears and anxious thoughts so quickly overwhelm my heart ? What is inside of me that instantly fills my heart with terror ?
Realizing in my own strength thoughts spread like wildfire as my mind races and panic emotions begin. Reminded now…. it wasn’t Until water came forth pouring out onto the flames that the fires stopped.
O my soul, His presence…will calm the storm within you. Be still, His Love will wrap around you. Be still, Rest in His strong arms. May Father’s heart overflow you with golden love and stop the fires within.
