Future Plans

No Comments

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD,
thoughts of peace and not of evil,to give you a future and a hope.
(Jeremiah 29:11, Holy Bible, New King James)

A new year brings hopes and dreams of a brighter future. Both are encouraging, but it takes plans to accomplish individual goals. Now, day five of 2017, I continue to write my goals in a daily planner. Each morning, I mark my accomplishments for the previous day or rewrite the missed goals.

I’ve left blank lines for the plans God has for my future. I can only record them as gratitudes after they happen.

Prayer: Lord, open my eyes to the plans You have for my future. Amen.

Fret Not

No Comments

“Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.”

“Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long.”

(Scriptures from Psalm 37:1 and Proverbs 23:17, Holy Bible, King James Version)

Solomon repeats a message he learned from his father, King David. Don’t be envious or troubled by unpunished actions of the ungodly. Fretting, a consistent uneasiness in comparisons to others, can cause erosion in your soul. Don’t concentrate on the actions of others or envy those who seem to prosper in their wickedness. Focus on God’s plans for your life.

Prayer: Lord, keep my mind focused on Your goodness and not on the evils of others. Don’t let me be consumed with worries about wrong doers. Remind me that You are in control of the ups and downs of my life. Amen.
