Here is today’s Bible reading: Judges 4:1-5:31; Luke 22:35-53; Psalm 94:1-23; Proverbs 14:3-4.
Psalm 94:19 (NIV)
When anxiety was great within me,
your consolation brought joy to my soul.
I have certainly grown to treasure the verses in the Bible that talk about anxiety. It is comforting to know that I am not the only one who has had this struggle. Even the Psalmist battled it. What I find exciting about this particular verse is to see how God used the anxiety to bring about joy. That is unexpected. But God is even able to use our anxiety and turn it into joy as we experience His presence. Leave it to God to turn even anxiety into something good.
Like the Apostle Paul, I want more than anything to know Christ (Phil. 3:10). I do not want to simply know about Him. I want to know Him-- personally, intimately, and experientially. It is not enough for me to hear about Him. I want to see Him with my own eyes.
With My Own Eyes
