Time for God's Will

Time for God's Will

One reason we are so harried and hurried is that we make yesterday and tomorrow our business, when all that legitimately concerns us is today. If we really have too much to do, there are some items on the agenda which God did not put there. Let us submit the list to Him and ask Him to indicate which items we must delete. There is always time to do the will of God. If we are too busy to do that, we are too busy.
Lord, help me to take your yoke on my shoulder, not a yoke of my own making. May I learn from You to be gentle and humblehearted. May I find that your load is light.

A good reminder. Thanks Karli. Just before I read that I was wondering how I was going to fit everything I need to do into this week. Now all I need to do is get to work to do the things I can today.

Hi Karli, loved your birth story. How very special. I suppose you know that i was present at your birth and that was a beautiful experience. Just sharing a verse i found re this post.
"Tomorrow you have no business with. You steal if you touch tomorrow. It is God's. Every day has in it enough to keep any man occupied without concerning himself with the things beyond."
