This is just what I needed this morning from the Jesus Calling Devotional, it really spoke to me! Problems are a part of life. They are inescapable: woven into the very fabric of this fallen world. You tend to go into problem solving mode all too readily, acting as if you have the capacity to fix everything. This is a habitual response, so automatic that it bypasses your conscious thinking. Not only does this habit frustrate you, it also distances you from Me.
Do not let fixing things be your top priority. You are ever so limited in your capacity to correct all that is wrong in the world around you. Don’t weigh yourself down with responsibilities that are not your won. Instead, make your relationship with Me your primary concern. Talk with Me about whatever is on your mind, seeking My perspective on the situation. Rather than trying to fix everything that comes to your attention, ask Me to show you what is truly important. Remember that you are en route to heaven, and let your problems fade in the light of eternity.
Please read: Psalm 32:8, Luke 10: 41-42 and Philippians 3: 20-21
I pray this has preached to you………..
Holy Spirit tells me “Take your hand off the plow.” Haha!
Dawn, good word!
