A Nugget

I read the coolest thing in today's devotion and need to share...written from Jesus' point of view...

"RELAX AND LET ME LEAD YOU through this day. I have everything under control: My control. You tend to peer anxiously into the day that is before you, trying to figure out what to do, and when. Meanwhile, the phone or doorbell rings, and you have to reshuffle your plans. All that planning ties you up in knots and distracts you from Me. Attentiveness to Me is not only for your quiet time, but for all your time. As you look to Me, I show you what to do now and next.

Vast quantities or time and energy are wasted in obsessive planning. When you let Me direct your steps, you are set free to enjoy Me and to find what I have prepared for you this day."
Psalm 32:8; Psalm 119:35; Psalm 143:8
Jesus Calling, by Sarah Young

This speaks volumes, especially now that the girls are both in school from 8-3 and I feel the need to fill my calendar. Such great words of wisdom. :)
