Going back through my blogs, I wrote about this problem several times...and here i am again...fretting again...not letting God take the burden, worrying about the future, anxious about relationships, worry....fret....anxiousness....
And what do I open??? This devotional...how God must chuckle at my fuming, my lack of faith ...my unbelief. How he must want to say again and again, "my child, my child....let me have it...I will give you strength, I will give you wisdom,,,,,just for the asking..."...
And He is saying that in the quiet on my restless heart and mind ....Help me listen....
Thank YOU for your patience .....
Jesus calls-----September 22
Trust Me and refuse to worry, for I am your Strength and Song.You are feeling wobbly this morning, looking at difficult times looming ahead, measuring them against your own strength. However, they are not today’s tasks—or even tomorrow’s. So leave them in the future and come home to the present, where you will find Me waiting for you. Since I am your Strength, I can empower you to handle each task as it comes. Because I am your Song, I can give you Joy as you work alongside Me.
Keep bringing your mind back to the present moment. Among all My creatures, only humans can anticipate future events. This ability is a blessing, but it becomes a curse whenever it is misused. If you use your magnificent mind to worry about tomorrow, you cloak yourself in dark unbelief. However, when the hope of heaven fills your thoughts, the Light of My Presence envelops you. Though heaven is future, it is also present tense. As you walk in the Light with Me, you have one foot on earth and one foot in heaven.
The Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him, my father’s God, and I will exalt him.
—Exodus 15:2
We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
—2 Corinthians 10:5
Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.
—Hebrews 10:23
