"Well duh, Vickie. Do you think God is trying to tell you something today." Those were my words as I finished my quiet time today. I use the Journey guide (Lifeway) and Jesus Calling by Sarah Young as tools for my quiet time. I was surprised how today's passage in both guides was from Luke 12:22-31. Apparently, God needed to hammer the message in my brain and heart.
I do have a lot on my plate and going on in my life that I am "concerned" about these days. Here is my list:
-my parent's health and decisions to be made
-upcoming wedding of my youngest son
-a job for my son; praise the Lord, his bride to be landed a good job
-home improvements that need to be done but lacking the funds
-friends who are without jobs
-spiritual revival for our church
-and many other decisions to be made
All of these "concerns" seem to be consuming my mind lately. Oh yes, I pray about them and will leave them for a bit a God's feet. However, later Satan slips in the doubt which multiples into worry. In the end I pick up these concerns again from God and try to handle them myself. This silly venture only leaves me eating chocolate by the handful, restless, tired, overwhelmed, and stressed. I am totally useless to anyone and most importantly not trusting God to handle any of them.
The Father has a plan for all my concerns (or in this case, worries). He knows my needs and my future. In the end I just need to rest secure in the fact that God already has everything answered in His will and that He has been working on it since the beginning of time.

Thank you Vickie for sharing this. I needed to be reminded of this especially right now. When will we learn to let go og things and let God have control and "fix" it as only He can?
