Your Value

“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?” (Matthew 6:25-28)

Do you ever wake up and already feel overwhelmed and they day hasn’t even started yet?

There are some morning when I wake up with my mind already racing with thoughts of all that needs to be done today. When that happens I have to make a conscious effort to set those thoughts aside until AFTER my morning devotion time.

Even when I am in the middle of my morning reading I often can feel the enemy trying to remind me of how much there is to do, and how ridiculous it is to spend precious time this morning on time in the Word rather than getting something done!

I’m sure I’m not alone in this. It is how satan works to “steal, kill and destroy” by trying to get us to focus on anything but God and steal our peace.

I need to remind my mind that our Heavenly Father wants us to look first to our Provider rather than the Project list. I still have to do my part and get done what I can, but I have to leave room for Him to do His part and see what He has waiting for me today.
