Good Morning!
Life has a way of shaking us at the most inconvenient times. One unexpected situation, one crisis, one disruption and suddenly our spiritual focus drifts. When God feels far away from what we’re facing, we must remind ourselves: He is still in control and closer than we think.
Disruptions often push us into the flesh. Our thoughts scatter, our emotions rise, and our peace slips. But this is exactly when we must lean harder on God’s Word. Psalm 121 calls us to lift our eyes—not to the problem, not to the chaos, but to the hills, to the God who never sleeps nor slumbers.
A powerful biblical example is Martha in Luke 10. Jesus was right in her home, yet the disruptions of serving pulled her attention away from Him. She became overwhelmed, frustrated, and spiritually distracted. Meanwhile, Mary chose to sit at Jesus’ feet, keeping her focus on the One who brings peace. Jesus gently reminded Martha that she was “worried and upset about many things,” but only one thing was truly needed.
Life will always present “many things.” But like Mary, we must choose the one thing—God’s presence.
Don’t let your current disruption in your life pull you away from the Source of your help. Pray more. Praise more. Trust deeper. Lift your eyes to the hills, for your help comes from the Lord. His peace will guard your heart and mind, even now.
