This morning's lesson came through a coloring book I was given. It's called "The Word in Color" and has some really nice pictures. As I was paging through it, this verse really spoke to me. It's a promise I've loved for a long time. But I really needed the reminder today. I have a lot on my plate right now and was so exhausted last night that I had started to stress about getting everything done before reminding myself that "He gives sleep to those He loves" (the last verse I journaled about - here). So, last night I got a good night's sleep (thank you, God!) - even sleeping in a bit this morning!
And this morning, instead of stressing about my to do list, and jumping right in to do stuff instead of taking my usual time with God, I chose to color this picture and let the words seep deep into my soul.
What a great promise! He not only gives me strength, but He directs my paths (Prov 3:6), and can even make the sun stand still (Joshua 10) if necessary to allow me time to complete my tasks. I can trust that I will have the energy I need, and I can trust His time management suggestions!
Father, I am so grateful to you for your strength and direction! I know that you are in charge, and I gratefully put my life in your capable hands. May I do your will this day! May those with whom I come in contact today, feel your love flowing through me. I love you, Father!
