It's like a multiple choice test every single day. We have a choice. We can choose to be positive or negative. We can choose to focus on the beauty or the ugly. We can choose to be fueled by actions or excuses. We can choose to be too busy or take some time to sit with God. We get to choose - so choose well. "My choice is you, God, first and only. And now I find I’m your choice!" ~Psalm 16:5 (MSG)
This week's blog topic from Proverbs 31 OBS is on “Worry”… AND I know a thing or two about worry. I’m betting a lot of you reading this do as well. Dictionary.com defines worry as: “ to torment oneself with or suffer from disturbing thoughts; fret. ” Torment oneself. Suffer. Fret. That’s what I can do to myself sometimes. I’ve heard that if you worry you don’t really trust that God can handle it. You don’t trust God with it. That’s hard to swallow for me. Because I worry about my kids, my family, me, friends, etc. But I’m in the Bible every single day. I am a Jesus girl. So for me to worry and then see that my worry means I don’t trust that God can handle it is hard. UGH. I am getting better about it though. My time with God every morning is helping. When I start to worry about something…I begin to pray. I stop the tormenting in its tracks and give it to Jesus. Now, I may have to give it to Jesus more than once.
