Rememdies for the Restless Soul

David offered two solutions for the unsettled spirit. He wrote, “Don’t sin by letting anger control you. Think about it overnight and remain silent…trust the Lord.” (Psa 4:4-5) How many conflicts are cleared up with the mere passing of time? When we are confronted we react immediately and emotionally. In the long run we’d do better to think about it awhile and react rationally, giving others the benefit of the doubt (1Co 13 “Love believes all things.”) The second remedy is for when the world seems out of control. “The foundations of the world have collapsed, what can the righteous do? But the Lord is in His holy temple. The Lord still rules from heaven.” (Psa 11:3-4) When life seems chaotic and evil seems to have the upper hand, remember God is soveriegn. Nothing is out of His control. “Lo, I am with you always. Even to the end of the age.” (Mat 28:20)
