"Instead of scanning the horizon of your life...concentrate on the task before you... Let everything else fade into the background. This will unclutter your mind..." (143)
Have you noticed how an anxious mind is a cluttered mind, a distracted mind, a detached mind?
As a result, I must challenge myself often to keep the focus limited to what God has placed on my present plate, rather than scanning the horizon for additional concerns to stress and depress me. I love to be fully prepared and thoroughly organized, to the point that my confidence starts to build on my efficiency rather than His sufficiency!
So, when the future appears to be rather hazy and undefined, I am learning to praise Him, for He holds my uncertain hazy horizon...
In His Capable Sovereign Hands...dmc
What's on Jesus' Heart?
- Dawn Marie Colaw - Facilitator
- Jesus Calling is an opportunity to daily pause and to step into His Presence. Inspired by the book: Jesus Calling (Sarah Young, 2004) we will respond and grow together. It takes about 5 minutes per day. We will interact and react to each day's devotional thoughts spoken from Christ's point of view. Join the challenge to be changed and renewed!
