According to Oxford Language, the definition of an “oxymoron” is a figure of speech in which contradictory terms appear in conjunction.’ For example, Reno, Nevada’s is dubbed The Biggest Little City.
The Lord I love and serve is full of oxymorons, and naturally, I’m intrigued.
1 Thessalonians 5:18 ESV “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”
Yeah, but what about those circumstances I don’t care for or necessarily understand? What about those. We don’t have to like our circumstances, but we are asked to trust in his presence and protection.
Simply being thankful to Lord that You don’t have to face your battle or battles alone.
Isaiah 41:13 ESV “For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, ‘Fear not, I am the one who helps you.”
Philippians 4:7 ESV “And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.”
Peace and Battles…put your hand and your trust in His mighty one, and you too can stand firm in the midsts of the storms. Try remembering each deliverance from past storms and trials. Reminding yourself that a second of worry isn’t going to change your circumstances, prayer is!!!
If you are in a struggle or battle today, I challenge you to turn it into an oxymoron. If you’re scared ask for help being brave. If you’re worried ask for help with peace. If your sad or mad ask for a song in your heart and turn on some uplifting music…If you’re stuck, ask for a nudge in the right direction.
If you are without I pray for you many blessings today! Need a blessing, then find a way to be one…another Oxy, but it works!
And as always, thank you for joining me. 🥰
