Today is one of those days when I just feel completely overwhelmed by my to do list. Not in a run from the house screaming or curl up and stay in bed all day way but definitely in a eat everything in the cabinets way. And really it's not just my to do list for today, or this week but the mental list I have of the next several months. We have a lot going on and I realized today that I feel completely incapable of figuring out the 'how' of it all. I have low energy--mainly due to how hot it has been and will continue to be and a serious need for a real vacation, which is in the works but won't be until August.
Last night we met for our Esther study and B. Moore was talking about how HE knows the how. I really needed to hear that, and I really need to go back and read it. Sunday's message was all about finding our Joy in the Lord in all things. Even the small things. Those are both things that I so easily stray away from. I know He knows the how and that I can live each day in complete joy for just knowing Him, but to flesh it out is hard. Instead I try to do things in my own power and look to earthly things for my joy.
So for this seemingly hard day I am going to look to Him and not allow myself to eat everything in sight or feel overwhelmed by the how of things. I will accomplish what is immediate and work toward the rest. Most of all I will cling to these two words of truth...
'The Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trails and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment.' 2 Peter 2:9
'The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to Him in song.' Psalm 28:6-8
I am praying that I move from being overwhelmed by all that is to come and just be overwhelmed by the joy I have in the Lord.
