Do you ever have to deal with your second thought of the day? Better yet...HOW do you deal with your 2nd thought of the day?
I have recently been reading the devotion book called "Jesus Calling" by Sarah Young. It is an amazing devotion book written from the standpoint of God speaking into our lives. On April 10th, the devotion was written using several verses one being Jeremiah 17:7. What stood out to me the most was in the Holman translation, it didn't say to put our confidence in the Lord but that He IS our Confidence.
Jeremiah 17:7
Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)
The man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence indeed is the Lord, is blessed.
I read this, I then reread it again and again. I began to talk to Father about this and began asking Him to show me daily how to make Him my confidence. Personally, I am really tired of my 2nd thought being of the weight of circumstance that are really out of my control most of the time. Even if they are in my control and they cause my day to start of with fear, dread, stress...anything along those lines of thought....then I need to get alone with Father more, pray more, read the Word of God more until I "GET IT" that He is my Confidence. My sub conscience mind would like for me to think otherwise because of past history. I need Jesus to be my confidence, mine is full of sin and burdened down from life. Thank God for the forgiveness He offered to me through the death, burial and resurrection of His Son, Jesus Christ. Through Him I have forgiveness of sins and can walk in a new life.
I want to live my life fully and not miss something that God has for me because of a second thought that seeks to destroy the day that God has made. Below is a quote from the April 10th devotion.
"While you were still living in darkness, I began to shine the lIght of My Presence into your sin stained life. Finally, I lifted you up out of the mire into marvelous Light. Having sacrificed My very Life for you, I can be trusted in every facet of your life."
- Jesus Calling, Sarah Young
