The Danger of Busy Thoughts
By Kristine Brown "Whenever my busy thoughts were out of control, the soothing comfort of your presence calmed me down and overwhelmed me with delight." - Psalm 94:19 TPT Have you ever noticed how hard it is to wind down your thoughts at the end of a long day? When you want nothing more than to quiet your mind long enough to enjoy a good night's rest? But it seems the harder you try to shut off those thoughts, the more the day's worries linger. I've been known to turn on a favorite Netflix show or grab a good book from the nightstand in an effort to turn off the cares of my day. I want instant results, so I attempt a quick escape from reality. Unfortunately, my attempts rarely work, and I end up laying there fighting between focusing on the next paragraph, checking social media, or thinking ahead to tomorrow's to-do list. Before long, I end up mentally overwhelmed and physically exhausted. Thankfully, God's Word offers hope and help for when our busy thoughts seem out of control. God desires for us to have peace. So much in fact, that He gave it to us as a precious gift through His son Jesus Christ. Jesus confirms this in His own words, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you." John 14:27 So if Jesus wants us to have this peace, why is it hard to keep busyness in its proper place? Because we forget that peace comes when we replace our anxious thoughts with God's presence. "Whenever my busy thoughts were out of control, the soothing comfort of your presence calmed me down and overwhelmed me with delight." Psalm 94:19 TPT
