So have you ever looked at your life and all that it entails? Have you ever taken the time to realize all that God puts together for you each day just for the day to happen? And think about how far in advance He put those things together that you can barely plan a day ahead of time. It's amazing isn't it. God gives us all that we need to endure each day, no matter the storms or the problems we have all we need to get by. How many of us have to get up and make a phone call to make sure the sun comes up? How many of us have to think about every step we make, every breath we take, every motion that our bodies make each day? If we thought about any of this we would worry ourselves to death wouldn't we.
Matthew 6:33 "But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness and all these things will be given to you as well."
Think about those words of JEsus Himself. "Seek first His kingdom and righteousness." That statement alone should make us so intent, so hungry to seek Him that we forget about everything else. ANd then, when we learn to seek Him each day, we will start to forget about the little things that worry us. I find myself thinking about my day a lot lately, but there are 2 days that I don't think about the day much at all. It's as if my feet barely hit the ground at all and those 2 days are Wednesday and Sunday. Why is that? What makes these two days so different from the rest? I get up each day and spend about 30-45 minutes in the word and prayer every day. I type out my blogs each week day early in the morning. I plan out my days and make sure my calendar doesn't overlap in any way. Yet only on those two days do I forget to do all of that. That's because on Wednesday I am a youth Pastor, and on Sundays I am a Pastor. I am so focused on God and serving Him, reaching others with His message that I totally forget about the details of the day. Sure, I'm a Youth pastor when I go eat lunch at the middle and High schools each day. Sure I'm a pastor when I visit someone in the hospital on my lunch break or between work and softball practice. BUt truly, I am almost confessing to you that I fail the rest of the days, and those days are filled with a little more stress and a lot less peace of mind.
So focus on the things of God, seek Him and let's have 7 days of peace of mind together.
Thanks for reading and have a great day!
