Hope for a Fearful Situation

Are you facing a fearful situation today? I'd like to offer some hope from God himself: 

"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid or dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

Isaiah 41:10

"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you."      

Deuteronomy 31:6

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."

Joshua 1:9

Vacations of the Soul

When your mind is numb from grief and your soul is sore from responsibility, where do you go for a mental vacation?

How do you rest your heart?

I'd love to hear the ways the Shepherd leads you into
paths of peace.

Wrestling with Time

Do you wrestle with time, trying without success to manage it? I heard these words in my heart recently:

" You have enough time to do all I've called you to do, with time left over to relax. What have you added?"

Ouch. And thanks. Please show me what I've added, Lord. Then show me how to eliminate it, so I am resting in You, not wrestling with time.

P.S. Please return Wednesday and Friday for a fun interview and book givaway with humor writer Jim Watkins.
