Worry enters in my mind, and before i realise , it has already begun a whirlwind.Past week had been full of many unexpected events, especially fathers sickness and pain.I found myself dragged to the feet of the Lord, pleading for relief and healing, i found myself praising Him for His many a favours and graces that i took for granted.Now sitting quietly , pondering over many things i realised the whirlwind that was forming.I reminded myself of the Lord being in control and the need for praise that is due to Him.
As the Lord teaches us not to worry about tomorrow in the bible, we need to ask for help to keep this habit in check.Following devotional excerpt by Charles swindoll, was found useful by me.
A healthy, happy life requires being in control of ourselves. To be punctual, we must control the use of our time. To be prepared and ready, we must be in control of our schedule. To be a good listener, our minds and tongue must be controlled. To get a project completed, our tendency to procrastinate must be under the firm control of our determination.
This means, then, that we need to be in firm control of ourselves . . . but not controlling of others. Our example? Christ, of course. He got the job done. Without wasted effort, personal panic, or extreme demands, He accomplished the objective. Right on schedule, He went to that cross. When He sighed, "It is finished," it was. Absolutely and completely.
