Philippians 4:6, Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

 

Here is something a little different to think about when being thankful in all circumstances. I am not sure where I got it; I do not know who to give the credit to.

 

To: You

Day: Today

From: The Boss

Subject: Yourself

I am God.

Today I will be handling all of your problems.

Please remember that I do not need your help.

If life happens to deliver you a situation that you cannot handle, do not attempt to resolve it.

Kindly put it in the SFGTD (Something For God To Do) box.

 

It will be addressed in My time, not yours.

Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold on to it.

 

If you find yourself stuck in the traffic; don’t despair.

There are people in this world for whom driving is an unheard of privilege.

 

Should you have a bad day at work; think of the man who has been out of work for years.

 

Should you despair over a relationship gone bad; think of the person who has never known what it is like to love and be loved in return.

 

Should you grieve the passing of another weekend; think of the woman in dire straits, working twelve hours a day, seven days a week to feed her children.

 

Should your car break down, leaving you miles away from assistance, think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take the walk.

 

Should you notice new gray hair in the mirror; think of the chemo patient in chemo who wishes she had hair to examine. Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what life is all about, asking what is my purpose?

Be thankful.

There are those who did not live long enough to get the opportunity.

Should you find yourself the victim of other people’s bitterness, ignorance, smallness or insecurities; remember things could be worse.

You could be them!

 

My intention was to convey God will take care of all your problems as He knows best and when He knows the timing is best. We can trust Him to handle all our problems and circumstances.

 

There will be no blog tomorrow or Friday. Enjoy family time, be thankful for all you have, and give Him praise! Be careful out there when shopping for those specials!

 

Also, Charlotte and I will be heading to Israel on Sunday with a whole lot of other people. We will be gone for 10 days. I am sure the blog will be filled with insights from that trip. That being said, there will be no blog for a while! Be diligent in your faith and keep an ear open for that trumpet to sound calling to meet Jesus in the clouds!
