Have you ever had a time in your life when you say to yourself, this is too good to be true and then you psych yourself into believing something bad is bound to happen? Well, lately I’ve been experiencing these thoughts frequently. Once I convince myself that something bad is going to happen, I’ve noticed I stay in a state of fear, anxiety or disbelief.
First of all, scripture tells us point-blank we WILL have trouble in our life, shoot Psalm 23:4 says, even though I walk through the valley of death…Bottom line, scripture is telling us we will have problems and bad things will happen in our life. However, Psalm 23:6 says surely goodness and love will follow me all of the days of my life! So you know what I’ve decided to do? I am embracing the truth and the facts that I will have difficult times in my life but, I will also have Goodness and Love that will follow me through any storm in my life. Why continue to waste any more mentally draining energy on wondering if something is “too good to be true” anymore? Instead I am going to believe the word of God and fight the enemy with the truth. So the next time you have that thought pop in your mind, this is too good to be true, I would like to challenge you to read Psalm 23 and ask yourself this question, “Is this thought from God or from the enemy?” Today I will be praying for all my readers to believe Psalm 23:6, that goodness and love will follow you all the days of your life!
Linda,
If we can keep God’s Word as our anchor and like you said, ask Who is this thought from?…then we can move forward without the anxiety and fear.
