Rocking
Chair
My
favorite place to sit and relax, is a big, comfortable, “cushiony”
rocking chair. The chair has pockets in the arms that overflow
with all my favorite things… bible, devotionals, dulcimer, and music,. I love sitting there just rocking back and
forth as I study, read, and practice!
In
many ways worry is like that rocking chair! I have all my
favorite, “comfortable’ topics that my mind defaults to when I
try to relax. My brain overflows with possible subjects…the
children, finances, work. I can spend hours sitting there going
back and forth, without actually going anywhere!
I don’t like to spend precious time worrying, but it’s an old friend, and it comes naturally… a leftover vestige from pre-Christian days! I recognize my worries don’t solve anything and they keep me from fully experiencing God’s amazing peace.
I
can waste my energy on a useless, destructive habit or I can pray and
hand my worries over to God who is infinitely more capable than I
will ever be. Truth is, I’m sure those who are the focus of
my worries would be much relieved to find out that I have let them go
and given them to our Creator!
Verse: 1Peter 5:7 (KJV) Casting
all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
Prayer:
Father God, I thank you for being there night and day,
to handle the things that I can’t! The beauty surrounding me
daily reminds me of Your immeasurable wisdom!
Thought
for the Day: The Creator of the Universe has it all under control!
