Good morning ladies,
The word of the day is “propinquity.” I realize that an
occurring theme in my life at the present is that of time. Use of time, availability of time,
understanding of time, etc. I believe
that people do not really think about time in a productive manner very
often. I recall one of my favorite books
stating something along the lines of people not being able to manage time, but
rather the ability to manage priorities. I now try to live my life as such. Worrying
has not gotten me very far, and so I try my best to know that God has control
over both the big and small parts of my days.
“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? And why are you anxious about clothing?
Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor
spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed
like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which
today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more
clothe you…” ~Matt 6:26-30
My question is: what are the places in your life that you
are not giving to God in their entirety? When we withhold those parts of who we
are, God is not able to work the way he could if we gave him that trust and
access. My prayer is that you take one
area of your life that you are holding close to the vest, and see what it would
take to give God permission to begin work in that very place.
Praying for you,
MO
