May 9

MOST OF THE THINGS l'VE WORRIED ABOUT DIDN'T HAPPEN. MOST OF THE THINGS l'VE HOPED FOR DID. KEEP DREAMING. 

I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 
MATTHEW 6:25 

We usually feel alone in our anxiety, but did you know most of us worry about the same kinds of things? We worry about whether our kids are safe. We worry we're not very attractive. We worry we sounded bad when we spoke up in a meeting or that we won't make ends meet financially. The root of our anxiety may look a little different for each of us, but our hand-wringing looks the same. Worry and distraction always travel together. We're worried, so we're distracted-and people who are distracted can't be present. How do we get back to being where our feet are? 


Most of the things we worry about don't actually happen. That's why Jesus told us not to worry about the future. He said to look at the flowers, how they're clothed with outfits kings couldn't recreate if they tried. He pointed to birds in the sky and reminded His followers the birds don't earn money or save things in barns, yet God always provides them with something to eat. Jesus said to look at things that actually exist, not all the things that don't. 


God hasn't brought you this far only to forget your name. Jesus said we won't add anything to our lives by worrying; we'll just miss seeing Him at work. Rather than live our lives distracted, we're better off trusting that God will come through once again. Instead of hiding under the table, He wants us to grab a front-row seat so we won't miss the action. 

 

If we're going to spend time thinking about the future, we might as well spend it hoping instead of worrying. Most of the things we worry about don't happen, but most of the things we hope for do. What are you worrying about? What has you wrapped around the axle and distracted? What are you hoping for? How come? Keep dreaming, and don't be surprised when you find out God has been dreaming with you all along. 


What do you find yourself worrying about?

July 20: MOST OF OUR DECISIONS ARE DRIVEN BY EITHER LOVE OR FEAR.

Affirmation: I am compassionate. I care about myself and others. (Repeat 10x) “When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him, and he asked them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” “Yes, Lord,” they replied.” (Matthew 9:27-31) Our compassion seems to be tied to belief in the Lord. Do you believe He is able to do this? Even more importantly, do you believe the Lord has compassion for YOU? ~~~~~~~ Ponder: Memorize Psalm 25:4-6. Make this your prayer today. This is a prayer for everyone to personalize and practice at any and every moment as you seek to live your best life. Pray this prayer at least 10 times today. “Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long. Remember Lord, your great mercy and love, for they are from days of old.  Psalm  25 :4-6 ~~~~~~~ Reading for Today Walk in Grace. Live in Love. by Bob Goff                ...

Affirmation: I am grateful for this body, mind & soul. God made me. I have had times in my life that I questioned God’s existence, His goodness, His love.

January 28: Keep Showing Up; You’re The Only You There Is

Affirmation: I am imperfect and I am enough. ~~~~~~~ Ponder and Personalize :  The book of Joshua was written after Moses died and Joshua is left to lead the Israelites into the promised land. God has freed them from slavery in Egypt.  “Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, …” What significance does the Book of Law have? Why was it important to meditate on it day and night? Talk to God about this directive and how it might impact you. Joshua 1:8-9 “ Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night , so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” ~~~~~~~ Catching Whimsy: 365 Days of Possibility.  By Bob Goff                        Jan ...
