This was in my devotinal book for today. "Jesus Calling" by Sarah Young. She takes verses and retells them as if Jesus is speaking to us. I know I've posted about worry before, but we humans just can't seem to get away from it! In light of yesterday's post, I also had to smile at the last line...read on and see. :)
"Refuse to worry! In this world there will be always something enticing you to worry. that is the nature of a fallen, fractured planet: Things are not as they should be. So the temptation to be anxious is constantly with you, trying to worm its way into your mind. The best defense is continual communication with Me, richly seasoned with thanksgiving. Awareness of My Presence fills your mind with Light and Peace, leaving no room for fear. This awareness lifts you up above your circumstances, enabling you to see problems from My perspective. Live close to Me! Together we can keep the wolves of worry at bay.
Those pesky wolves can creep up in various shapes and sizes, but take heart, for with our Shepherd we can overcome!
Luke 12:25-26
1Thessalonians 5:16-18
