Too often, we plan our day and traverse the course of it
by relying on our human understanding. We feel stress, pressure, irritation, exasperation,
and sometimes, even sheer panic at all we have to accomplish in one day.
Our
to-do list grows each day, as we add what we failed to complete yesterday. We attempt to squeeze in all of the activities, which we feel are necessary for us and our family.
This all changes once we determine to trust the Lord with
our day. We submit our energy, resources and thoughts to Him; so that He can
help us to accomplish the activities, which He ordained in our life (Ephesians
2:10).
God directs all of our steps. He takes the mountains and valleys out of our day, and
gives us a smooth road to follow. We no longer feel like each day is all up
hill. We do not fear trials, because we know that God is in control.
We consult our Father God before we start any project, and
we serve Him with a submissive heart and complete devotion. He is always
available to everyone who seeks His will for their life (1 Chronicles 28:9).
As
we listen attentively, we will hear God’s voice directing our steps all through
the day (Isaiah 30:21). God promises
to work out everything for our good, as we obey His will (Romans 8:28).
The Lord tells us where to go and what to do when we get
there. All it takes is for us to realize that our life is not our own, but His;
bought with the blood of Christ as a ransom for our sins (Jeremiah 42:3, 10:23;
1 Peter 1:18-19).
Prayer:
Father God, You do not find fault with us, and You give
us Your wisdom any time we ask for it (James 1:5). There is no more anxiety
about what we must accomplish with our day, because You hear our prayers as we
rely only on You (Philippians 4:6).
Remind us not to futilely spin our wheels
attempting to accomplish our own will for our life. Help us to walk in Your
Spirit and to obey His direction throughout the each day.
Thought for the Day:
God will establish our plans, if we consult His will
about everything we do. – Proverbs 16:3
