Calm, Not Frazzled

Some days I feel frazzled, pulled in different directions. I suppose it’s like having Attention Deficit Disorder. If I understand correctly, people who suffer with ADD are easily distracted, often act impulsively, and are at times physically restless. I’ve never been diagnosed with ADD, but I can relate to the symptoms. There are days when I catch myself trapped in the rush of life, missing what matters most, that inner peace which passes understanding. The uneasiness, the restlessness is not of God.

I know that because the prophet Zephaniah refers to God as one who creates calm with his amazing love. A calm and level-headed presence of mind is evidence of God’s love at work in us (Zephaniah 3:17).

Mrs. Thomas Edison once told Glenn Clark, “Mr. Edison is always perfectly natural and always perfectly relaxed. He feels that all of his discoveries have ‘come through him,’ that he is but a channel for forces greater than himself.”
Rest in the warmth of God’s love and your restlessness will evaporate as quickly as the morning dew.
