No matter how many times I come across this verse, it always seems to be helpful. I happened to read it this morning and it was a good reminder. Here you go…one day at a time!
Matthew 6:34
Don’t worry about tomorrow. It will take care of itself. You have enough to worry about today.
Have a great day.
I don’t know about you, but I tend to give those seemingly not-so-significant moments of worry a lot more credence than they deserve.
You know what I mean. How will I have time to get these tasks done? What will they think about this? Why won’t this work? And on, and on.
Little worries can add up to big stress – if we let them. I’m here to say, I let them. Too often. Ah well, it happens.
That said, I’ve been asking myself one simple question lately, when these little worries start to add up.
Is God sovereign?
As a Christian, the answer has to be yes. Right?
When I make myself remember this, it’s then – during that “light bulb moment” – where I start to feel better and worry less (at least, until I start over analyzing things again).
Of course, I recognize some things in life are genuinely serious concerns that cause genuinely serious cause for worry. But, this also can help during those times…at least, I think so. 🙂
It’s been really helpful to me to ask myself this question during times of stress. Hopefully it will be helpful to you, too!
Have a great day.
“Obedience is the key to real faith – the unshakable kind of faith so powerfully illustrated by Job’s life. Job lost his home, his family, his health. But though it appeared God had abandoned him, Job clung to the assurance that God is who He is.”
-Charles Colson
Isn’t it funny how quickly we forget that God is who He is?
Where’s God in all of these questions? We all (myself absolutely included) tend to forget that He is in control…that God is who He is.
So much stress, so much worry.
As the author goes on to say, real faith is believing and acting obediently regardless of circumstances or contrary evidence.
A reminder to myself today, and anyone else who needs it, to keep that in mind. If we truly believe in God, incorporating that belief into our daily routine and applying it to difficulties that come up will keep us in a place of peace.
Simply remembering that God is who He is can be a real game-changer.
Have a great day.
‘If you’re not at peace with yourself then you’re not gonna find peace, no matter what you do in any area of life.’
-Joyce Meyer
Truth.
Here’s a great message about building a ‘confidence habit’ and choosing peace for your life instead of worry and self-pity.
Have a good day!
Worrying about tomorrow and regretting yesterday both prevent you from enjoying today…and chances are, there are some really good things about today that you’re missing as a result.
Enjoy your today!
