Level Headed

 

I like being around people who are steady, balanced and sprinkle in some spontaneity. Level headed people are usually a bit older and wiser than most. I’ve met people who are old who are still immature and make stupid choices. I’ve met young people who were wise beyond their years. I believe that walking in the truth of God’s Word can make me wise and level-headed beyond my years.

David often writes Psalms that cry out to God during his fear or suffering. He writes in such a way that I often identify with him. I appreciate his perspective quite often. Check this out…

1 Vindicate me, Lord,

    for I have led a blameless life;

I have trusted in the Lord

    and have not faltered.

2 Test me, Lord, and try me,

    examine my heart and my mind;

3 for I have always been mindful of your unfailing love

    and have lived in reliance on your faithfulness.

12 My feet stand on level ground;

    in the great congregation I will praise the Lord. (Psalm 26:1-3,12 NIV)

The Lord helps me stand on level ground.

The Lord helps me to be level headed.

The Lord gives me wisdom beyond my years.

I am no longer paralyzed by fear and worry. Whatever comes my way, I will walk through with the Lord to lead me. This allows me to live balanced and level-headed.

I’ve been singing in my head this morning a song that was introduced at church – No Longer Slaves.

I’m no longer a slave to fear

I am a child of God

You split the sea

So I could walk right through it

You drowned my fears in perfect love

You rescued me

And I will stand and sing

I am a child of God

(Jonathan the & Melissa Healer)
