Colossians 1:11-12 (NLT)
We also pray that you will be
strengthened with all his glorious power so you will have all the endurance and
patience you need. May you be filled with joy, always thanking the Father. He has enabled
you to share in the inheritance that belongs to his people, who live in the
light.
Do you
ever just get overwhelmed by things you think you need to do? It happens many times to us. I don’t keep to-do lists because they make me
feel that way sometimes. I may make a
mental list of what I might want to accomplish each day – I can handle
that. I learned a long time ago about
small steps. In accounting, if something
is out of balance, we go back to the last time it was in balance and work
forward entry by entry. In choir to
learn a new song, one perfects it in sections. We pay off debt bit by bit. In our faith walk, we learn to trust God a
little at a time. Sometimes we have to
take baby steps towards our goals, but it is important to have those goals and
to keep moving forward. Ask God to help you and step by step, little by little
you will reach your destination. As the
old saying goes, “Nothing ventured, nothing gained.”
Holy God,
we begin a new week today. Please give
us strength and keep us moving forward.
Help us to finish the old before taking on the new. Give us wisdom and discernment, energy and
excitement about the precious life we wake with each day. In Christ’s name we pray. Amen.
Have a blessed
week!
Paige
