You Steady My Heart

Today, January 30, Monday, first day of work after Chinese New Year. As you walk the streets of Taipei, you will  hear lots of noise of firecrackers and will also see lots of local people burning paper and offering food for their gods. They usually do this every year on the first day of work after Chinese New Year as a custom or ritual to have good luck for their business. The local people here believe that good luck in business will steady their hearts and give them joy and peace.

For me, the only One that will steady my heart amidst the turmoil of life and of the world is my God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. I praise Him that He is helping me to put my trust in Him even with not so good circumstances. I cannot believe in Him on my own, His Spirit is guiding me and helping me every step of my walk with Him. I don't have to worry because the God who made everything, is the One who is holding me in the palm of His hand. His forever love for me is steadying my heart even on times that it's hurting. The peace that transcends all understanding that He is giving me, keeps me smiling everyday.
