Just breath

My biggest nemesis...worry. The scriptures clearly commands do not worry, yet every day I take it upon myself to carry the cares of my world on my shoulders. I am saying, "Lord, I disobey you today because I do not trust you are truly God and can care for my needs or care to give me the desires of my heart." Ouch.

There is a bird who made it's next in my porch light. Everyday when I come home, the bird flies away. However, as he is flying I doubt he is thinking, "I wonder if I will have a home when I return?" I clearly have the power to destroy his home and the babies growing in the nest. But the bird doesn't worry. And so what if I destroy his home, he will not panic just rebuild.

If I could trust God like that bird, I am sure the load will be lighter, my mind would be clearer, and there would be a smile upon my face. It is true as the Bible says, what does worry add to your life.

Today, I choose to heed the command of the Lord and not worry even as things change, as things aren't moving the direction I had hoped, as it seems God is being too quiet, as it seems that my world keeps shifting. My hope remains in Christ.
