Holy Holy Holy

I’ve felt a little uneasy lately. There isn’t a singular cause, per se... just a lot of little things. Take the weather. With the unseasonably warm temps lasting the past many months, I can find myself thinking, “We really are all going to die from global warming. The glaciers are going to melt and kill us all." Or add the high winds that leave us frazzled for days on end. My fears of a blazing wildfire wiping out all of Windsor start to spiral! Or take the war in Iran...perhaps we will get nuked! On top of chasing those troubling thoughts from my mind, we have personal circumstances that cause unrest. We are in the process of moving. Something about packing up all our worldly possessions (i.e., way too much stuff), relocating to an unfamiliar home, and the hassle of it all can leave me way too focused on things that are temporary.

Charles Spurgeon once advised, "Hold everything earthly with a loose hand, but grasp eternal things with a death-like grip". What a perspective-changing reminder! In our women’s Revelation study, we have been considering the eternality of God. How very comforting to remember “Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty! Who was, who is, and who is to come!” (Revelation 4:8). Our sovereign God may allow tragedy. But our hope is in what lies beyond here and now! We will worship Him FOREVER...the struggles of this world will fade away when we behold Him in all His Glory!. So I can calm my uneasiness and my “what-ifs” with truth. When all is said and done, those of us who have trusted Christ for our salvation will be redeemed from this earthly body, lifted from this earthly world to worship the Almighty endlessly! Hallelujah! Let the wind blow!
