Have you ever noticed how fast time goes by? One you are a kid and can't wait to be a teenager. You look forward to driving and to graduating school. Then the road to being an adult is here. The big question may arise, "now what"? As a kid I had dreams and I wanted to grow up fast. My life certainly hasn't turned out like I thought and even have been disappointed in myself. I have learned the importance of keeping right thoughts. The Bible speaks of guarding your heart.
Matthew 6:21-31 New International Version (NIV)
21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
22 “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
24 “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
Do Not Worry
25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?
28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’
MY THOUGHTS NOW ~
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
I like how the Bible tells us not to worry. Each one of us face different things daily. Those different things can be thoughts too. Thoughts are powerful and can determinate our day. I have woke up sad before and it took me getting ready to change my mindset. I had things suddenly happen and needed to deal with some decisions. Making a right decision may not be easy but necessary.
As we face this new day, face it knowing God has this! Whatever this is in your life, God knows and cares. Not only God, but he will put people in our path to be there for us. I care and my prayers continue for you, your family and friends.
