No place I’d rather be

Isaiah 25:1 "O Lord, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done marvelous things, things planned long ago."

Isaiah 26:3-4 "You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you. 4 Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord, is the rock eternal."    O Lord, you are my God!!!    I hope I can use this phrase all day long.  I can often get caught in playing scenarios over and over again in my head.   I can think about conversations I'd like to have with people, which I never do.   I think about things I have no control over as if somehow my thinking about them can make things differently.   This weekend one of my dear friends and I were talking about this very thing, we came up with; " Everything brings us to right here and right now and there is no place we'd rather be."   We were hanging out in the Sparta, Wisconsin area.   Now it could be argued that there are other places to be that may be better but our minds were set on enjoying our present moments.   Our minds were set on God has us exactly where He wants us.   Sometimes life is truly so difficult I can hardly breathe and sometimes I am riding bike on a mountain top.   God can and will keep us in perfect peace when our minds are set on Him trusting He has planned our paths long ago.  He is taking us through to get us to.    Today, when I am tempted to worry and fret about anything.  I hope to say to myself, “O Lord, you are my God!”
