REST YOUR MIND!

6-13-2017. . . .REST YOUR MIND!

"Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything; tell God your needs, and don't forget to thank him for his answers.   If you do this, you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will keep your thoughts and your hearts quiet and at rest as you trust in Christ Jesus." (Phil 4:5-7 TLB) 

Why worry about things that are out of your control.  Worrying increases stress while doing nothing to facilitate a solution to the pressing problem.  The things that are out of our control are never out of God's control.  Tell Him about it, thank Him for it, and let Him handle it!  Then, rest your mind!

PRAYER: Lord, thank you for being in control and having everything under control!  We give you are stress and receive your rest.  Amen!

Phil 4:6-7. . . . Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. NIV

God has His eye on you, watching everything we do.   No matter what it looks like, He is working everything out according to His own plan and not our agenda!  Rest in Him and wait patiently while He does what He does!

PRAYER: Lord, thank you for keeping your eye and your hand on us!  Without you, we would certainly run a mock!  Lord keep us day by day!  Amen.

 Ps 27:1-3. . . .The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?  When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.  Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.  KJV

"Whatever you do, do well, for in death, where you are going, there is no working or planning, or knowing, or understanding.  (Eccl 9:10 TLB)  

Anything worth doing is worth doing well!  If we are going to do anything, the time to do it is now, without delay.  Death is coming to us all.   Let's die without regret over what we could have or should have done.  So write the book; the song; start the business; change the career; accept the calling!  Whatever is in our hearts to do, Get busy.....Get to work now!

 Integrity should be the basis and foundation upon which our works are built.  Tested under fire or otherwise they will always be proven legit.  

Prayer: Lord, help us have integrity in all we do.  Amen!
