Triggered

When something sets us off, it feels as if our equilibrium is off. Often, it is difficult to shake whatever has gotten under our skin. It certainly can cause us mental and emotional discomfort. When we are triggered, we should try as hard as we can to remember who we are in Christ. We have a purpose while we are here on earth. In God’s word, it says that weapons will form, but will not prosper (Isaiah 54:17). This means that we will face some trying times, some triggering moments. However, God is a rock in this weary land! He goes ahead of us, steering us clear of dangers seen and unseen. During times when we are triggered, we must trust Him! He is a waymaker, and that which may trigger us is not here to stay! We can conquer it—in fact, we can conquer all things with Christ!

MEDITATE ON THIS: Isaiah 26:3 New International Version (NIV)

3 You will keep in perfect peace
those whose minds are steadfast,
because they trust in you.
