It seems that our days are getting busier and busier, with to-do lists that are longer and longer. Today pick out three things that matter most to God and be sure they get done. Cut yourself some slack on the rest.
In verse 8 of Psalm 139, we read, “If I ascend to the heavens, you are there; if I lie down in Sheol, there you are.” We cannot escape from God’s presence.
In John 3:19, we read, “The light came into the world, but the people preferred darkness to light.” How can we seek the light in our lives?
Jesus approached the Samaritan woman at the well in the heat of the day when the rest of her community rested in the afternoon cool of their homes. She was an outcast and had no idea who he was until finally, he said, “I am he.”
Jesus tells us that we will have trouble in this world but that we need not fear since he has conquered the world. We know that, and yet we all have times when we are scared.
