Attitude Adjustment for the Anxious

I stopped one of the farmers in our congregation this morning as I was walking back from getting the mail up town. We chatted and then commented on how everyone seems to be so focused on the wet and cool weather that has not allowed the farmers to finish their spring planting. We said that God has always been faithful to see the crops got in and out but that doesn't meant that there are not lessons to learn during this trying time. "When my anxious thoughts multiply within me. Your consolations delight my soul" (Ps.94:19). This verse has relevance for the farmers anxious to get their crops in and for so many others as well. Everyone seems to be so busy, so caught up in chasing their dreams, so consumed with the "day to day" stuff of living, and so stressed out. The Psalmist brings perspective to the chaos when he says that he turns to God's consolations, the truth of who God is and what He wants for us, His power, purpose, and plan. Lord give me your perspective to quiet my anxious thoughts today.
