Luke 12:22 … “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life….”
God is steadfast and faithful. Always. It should not surprise me that He always speaks to my heart, but somehow it does. I’m still in this weird mental space. My need for rest and renewal are palpable. I am quite cognizant of what I need, but I cannot seem to disengage from the relentless need to actively do. Part of that is due to the nature of my job and this time of year—we are winding down, which carries very specific obligations. Part of it is because somehow, mentally, my worth seems tied up in actively doing, not in resting and seeking Him. Jesus, Help me.
Luke 12:25 “Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life?”
My Savior MUST be my most important thing. Today’s message was all about seeking Him first and not worrying about all the little things, the thousands of little questions and concerns that worriers like me are keenly aware of. When I seek Him first, He will be sure I have what I need. Always. Thank You, Jesus. Give me the strength, the mental and physical space, to do what You are calling me to do—to rest and renew, to put You first. Always.
Luke 12:31 “But seek His kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.”
Lord, Thank You for this day and for this message. Thank You for Your relentless pursuit of me, for seeing where I am, what I need. Help me to reprioritize, Lord, to put You first, always, and to know that when I seek You first, everything else will fall into place. Draw me closer, Lord. Amen.
Luke 12:34 “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
Have a blessed day.
My faith, my life, my teaching–it's all a work in progress.
