Everything Under the Son
Because JESUS is my everything
Meditate on this
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
My plate is full...life is busy. The schedule for the week is looking crazier by the day. It seems overwhelming at times, when I stop and think about all that is to be accomplished by me in the days and weeks ahead. It would be so easy to be bogged down in it all...to become consumed with the lists and everything that must be checked off.
Instead though, I am choosing to think of things a bit differently. I am choosing to meditate on this..."The joy of the Lord is my strength!" In the moments when I am feeling overwhelmed, I am choosing to remember that my strength comes from the Lord! With a spring in my step, and a song in my heart, I will attempt to maneuver the lists and schedules of the week. More importantly, I will know that I am not maneuvering alone, and that He is by my side. The lists exist because of His richest blessings on me...my children, my husband, and much more. I will rejoice and be glad that THIS is the day the Lord has made!

"The joy of the Lord is my strength."
Scripture and inspiration found in another blog reading today. I was touched and moved to apply the verse to where I am in the midst of all the busy-ness around me.

Thanks so much for sharing. The joy of the Lors is MY strength. LOVE IT! I think I used the same verse over and over this weekend... and "What an awesome God we serve!"
A very wise friend has taught me the phrase "grace for the moment" and that prayer is constantly on my lips in the busy season: grace to do His will, grace to see Him, grace to share Him, and grace to see the sweetness He sends me all the time. Grace for the moment, the joy of the Lord. May He grant it all...
