My "Monday Measure" for this week is:
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
(Philippians 4:6-7)
Oh how often we get anxious and impatient for what we know should be happening, could be happening, or want to have happening. With everyday lists of things to do, errands to run, bills to pay, and children to tend to the fleshly mind can't help at times to overwhelm itself and before we know it things are out of control and our week is unproductive.
However, keeping our eyes on the Lord, a prayer on our heart, and His words on our mind, can cause the day to be accomplished and full of a peace and joy only He can provide. Things will happen... on HIS timing... so this week I'll be thankful in all I do for what the Lord has in store for me for that moment, and that moment alone. If a burden arises, it will be taken to Him to handle for me... because everything IS under His control!
