Daily Word 06^th August 2007

We have to fight them daily, like fleas, those many small worries about the morrow, for they sap our energies."
– Etty Hillesum

We serve a God of the now – The ‘I Am’ . He is everything we need to face today with whatever it may bring. The problem is that, more often than not, we are defeated not by our todays, but by the ‘what ifs’ of our tomorrows.

And yes, these nagging worries are like fleas that constantly bite at us, sapping our energy and keeping us from fulfilling the potential of our todays.

So how do we overcome them? By staying ‘fervently focused’ . Focused on our Saviour Who has declared that He holds us in the palm of His hand. He holds our tomorrows, and will give us the strength and grace to face whatever they may bring.

So embrace this day ‘In Christ’! Let His peace that surpasses all understanding infuse your being, let His energy sustain you, and let His Glory be manifest in your life!

Don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries.  Today's trouble is enough for today.        Matthew 6:34

Have a victorious Monday,

Much love
