Good Morning,
My cup of Door County German Chocolate Cake Coffee is poured and hot. It is time to write.
The world is watching the Summer Olympics. Due to controversy some are foregoing watching the athletes compete. I feel bad for the athletes. The controversies and politics have no place in the Olympics.
Philippians 4:6-7 NKJV Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God, 7. and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
While watching the nightly news they were interviewing a swimmer who had piled up some medals for his achievements in the swimming pool. This young man was in great physical shape and his swim suit fit like a surgeons rubber glove. This suit is designed to not provide resistance while swimming. Every precaution is made to make sure the athlete has nothing on them that could slow them down.
There are no pockets in the suit to store a cell phone, a lucky rock, or past medals!
Luke 12:25 NIV Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life?
Friends, we go through life and every day and we run the race it brings us. At times it might feel like this life is like swimming against a strong current. We have too much on our minds and we carry with us a bag full of worries. The worries weigh us down and at times we are not functioning to the best of our capabilities. No one would wear a back pack filled with sand to a swimming race. Yet we carry worry after worry with us all day and night and expect the worrying to help.
1 Peter 5:7 ESV Casting all your anxieties on Him for He cares for you.
Trust God today to show you the way and walk with Him. It's much more enjoyable than worrying about something that only He can fix.
Marty
