2 Timothy 3:14-15 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
Today I was needing a word of encouragement. I have been overly busy in the last couple of months with the end too far down the road to see. My job seems to eat up so much of my time. I am tired and have very little time to spend with family. With that, I am feeling a bit energy sapped. I have been with people and will be with people for the next month. For me, that is incredibly draining. I am doing my best to make time for myself, but I am not winning that battle. This verse then was a good reminder to "think about what I know". This is temporary. This too shall pass. I have to remember to bring my inner focus back to the One who is able to give me true rest in the midst of the chaos. Jesus was able to sleep on the boat during a great storm. He can calm my spirit within me as I race on the outside. A phrase I tell little kids when something really exciting is happening and I want them to be in control of themselves is, "Party on the inside!" I think I need a saying for times like the present. With Jesus, I can take refuge on the inside when chaos ensues on the outside.
