Daily devotion – Rocking chairs and borrowed troubles
Phl 4:7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Someone said that worry is like sitting in a rocking chair. Its gives you something to do but you get nowhere! Another person said, “Worry is an old man with a bent head, carrying a load of feathers he thinks is lead.”
Worry about what MIGHT happen makes even the smallest trouble a mammoth! Nervously anticipating troubles that may never happen can crush your spirit.
So instead of ‘borrowing trouble’ by constantly worrying about the future, go to the Word of life, the Bible, and read of God’s promises like, “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” – John 14:27
Whatever is worrying you right now, give it to Jesus and trust Him to take care of it. Let His peace replace your worry!
