Set Free from Fear, Control, and Busyness // Vera Schmitz

8 minutes

"It says, 'The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.' It doesn't say, 'You need only to make a plan, you need only to make a list, you need only to buy this thing.' No. 'The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.'" — Vera Schmitz

This month’s memory verse: "Then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free." —John 8:32

Today’s podcast: This month, Dwell Differently co-founder Vera Schmitz shares how memorizing specific truths in God's Word have helped to set her free from struggles in her own life. She relates how the truths about God's transcendent peace in Philippians 4:6-7 have helped her in anxious moments. She shares how Exodus 14:14 teaches here to rely on God to fight for her. And she also relates how the words of rest in Psalm 116:7 come to her mind in seasons of busyness. We trust that Vera's stories of freedom will be an encouragement to you as you consider how God's words have bolstered you up when you've needed them. And be sure to join us next week as we memorize on more verse to help us do just that.
