A different question can change your life
Posted on April 12, 2011 by Pastor Tom
When you get up in the morning, what questions come into your mind? My mind puts out questions like “what am I going to do today? How will I do in that meeting today? Will I have enough time to get everything I want to get done today?” Then my mind and body begins to deal with the answers to those questions. “Wow, I have a lot to do today,” or “I think there’s enough time for that today.” “I better study some more for that meeting” or “I don’t know what I’ll do it that person says something.”
But another question can totally change our perspective for the day. It’s simply this: “God, what are you doing today in and around my life? When I ask that question, my focus shifts to other questions. “God, what do you want me to be involved in today. God what do you want me to see? God, who do you want me to see?” I find that when I ask that question, I find deeper purpose and I relax. Why? I think it’s because Jesus said “Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” This same Jesus is at His work and will show me how to join Him in what He’s doing.
So God, what are you doing today in and around my life?
