I have such a thankful heart and spirit to the Lord for so many things...but in recent months it has been a stability of mind that I am most thankful mind...no more do I go up and down in emotions, wild thinking or vain imaginations....God is our mental stability if we will let Him be.
Isaiah 33:6 (Message translation) 'His center holds. Zion brims over with all that is just and right. God keeps your days stable and secure... '
Now, instead of reacting when someone pushes my buttons---I take a deep breathe, let the Lord be in control and I keep my mouth shut ....over the months I have found I have fewer and fewer buttons that people can push. He is my mental stability.
Only took me to my fifties to figure this one out---at least I finally did. :)
May you allow the Lord to bless you with a sound and stable mind.
