I worry about the past (what I've done, what I should have done, what I shouldn't have said, what ought to have happened).
And then I wonder why I'm depressed and exhausted.
But when I focus on the present and just do the next thing (whether that's doing the dishes, or writing a blog post, or making a bed), I find peace. Because that's where God is working in my life.
This is so true...I get so overwhelmed when I think about everything I have to do, but God is teaching me that I need to just take things one moment at a time...
ReplyDelete"do the next thing" have you read elisabeth elliot's devotional entitled that? I really loved it. Great message :)
ReplyDeleteI think I might have - I have her book "Keep a Quiet Heart." Such a good read.
