Are you having one of those days that run on before you even get out of bed? Thoughts that race ahead of you and try and deliver the day even before it is started? If so then try and listen to the word's of Jesus that said "do not worry about tomorrow for one day carries enough trouble of it's own." I try and believe that and do it but it's hard sometimes. I have always somewhat admired the Far Eastern cultures that favor discipline of the mind and body over impulse. The American's it seems to me are like a Corvette with a 400 cu. inch engine raring to go at a moments notice. Mash the gas pedal to the floor and everything is power uncontrolled and burning and swerving down the road! What about those thoughts that run on also, "take captive every thought, it says somewhere in scripture. What about the tongue, like and unbridled horse, if left to it's own, it can spread fire. And the heart?, guard it for out of it flow the issues of life, and out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. All good things to consider during the course of a day that starts before we do. Gossip at the water cooler ignore it. Rumors that Joe got canned! Find out the truth and rest, New boss coming to your company, what's going to be the big change?
All these things rule our day from the start and crowd out that peace that Jesus talked so much about, HOW did he do it? And with so much at stake>? Trusting twelve men to carry a word to many that were so unruly. UNTAMED....Yet here we are with the message that endures today with words and examples that went so long before we were even born. Jesus knew alright. Not by power or might but by the Spirit.
