Everyday Airport Crabby

​I was in the airport traveling to speak and I was just so crabby and I felt so negative. What was going on?  I began to recite scripture thinking this would help get me out of my muck.  Nothing.  Then I realized I needed TO APPLY what I knew. I heard Isaiah 32:17; “And the effect of righteousness will be peace--internal and external, and the result of righteousness will be quietness and confident trust forever.”  I thought about why I can say; “I am the righteousness of God.”  It means I’m in right standing with God but not because of anything I do but because I receive what HE DID for me.  

Righteousness knows who I am in Christ! So quietly I walked around the airport saying; I’m the daughter of the King. He began a good work in me. I know He’s working all things for the good. He’s planned a wonderful future for me.  AFTER I repeated the truth …guess what? I was quiet in my spirit and had peace.  Our feelings are indicators but should not be dictators…everyday.
