Fast food for your soul

It has been a while since I have posted anything, and I had great intentions to share some of the things we have been up to lately, but this devotional spoke to me, and I wanted to share.  Maybe a reason I haven't posted anything for a while is that "I really have too much to do", and this was a good reminder of what is important. Apparently blogging is important today!  :)

I hope you are all feeling blessed and loved today - because you are!

Time for God's Will

One reason we are so harried and hurried is that we make yesterday and tomorrow our business, when all that legitimately concerns us is today. If we really have too much to do, there are some items on the agenda which God did not put there. Let us submit the list to Him and ask Him to indicate which items we must delete. There is always time to do the will of God. If we are too busy to do that, we are too busy.

Lord, help me to take your yoke on my shoulder, not a yoke of my own making. May I learn from You to be gentle and humblehearted. May I find that your load is light.

I love that I get these devotionals on my phone. It feels a little like fast food, but for your soul.

  2. Sherri-
    Thanks for commenting on my blog. When I came over here and read your post, I knew I'd be coming back. It made me rethink my to do list for the day :)

    We certainly have much in common - good and bad. I'll be praying for you and your son in your womb. May he be in born safely and inyour arms soon. FYI I love the name Amelia. My first son would have been Amelia Rose had he been a girl.

    Blessings!
