 Good morning! How are we faithing? Tis a tough road some days to retain our jubilance with life. What I mean is we can get burdened down with this world and the worries that come. Dealing with things and worrying about them are two separate things. A business owner is concerned with things in his shop but worrying if customers will come doesn't help the cash register, it only drives that owner nuts. The Word says to let tomorrow worry about itself. Gee whiz, we may take our last breath today so why would we spend it fretting about something we can't control anyways? We have assurance that our savior walks with us. We have assurance that as believers in Christ that our base is in the Word, not empty philosophies the world comes up with. It ain't always easy but we can focus on him when it does get hard. Look at these and sit back and think/pray about them;

Colossians 2:6-12
So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ. For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority.
In him you were also circumcised, in the putting off of the sinful nature, not with a circumcision done by the hands of men but with the circumcision done by Christ, having been buried with him in baptism and raised with him through your faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead.
NIV

Remember this, deal with things knowing they are temporal and what lasts is our faith in Jesus therefore why let ourselves be consumed with worries on this orb? He has already overcome them thus our junk is defeated before it ever comes. Pretty cool!

Heavenly Father,
Thank you for all you do for us. Help us see we already have won and this life is for us to share your grace with others. Help us keep perspective and seek you in everything. Lord we lift those who are dealing with issues that seem so defeating. Grant us your peace and rest. Teach us to see truth and recognize heresy. in Jesus name, Amen
