A lot of what I've read so far in this book has emphasized not worrying about tomorrow, not sweating the small stuff, and finding peace by staying in constant connection to God through conversation. It hasn't been repetitive, but delivers a new aspect to peace and patience. Today's "lesson" talked about leaving the future in the future. Don't worry about what's coming. It made the point that, of God's creations, we are the only ones with the capacity to ponder the future. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not because I know I misuse that ability. On one hand it's important to plan financially for certain big events in your life. On the other hand, it tends to consume my thoughts. My mind needs to focus on the present. My favorite line from today says, "As you walk in the Light with Me, you have one foot on Earth, and one foot in Heaven." As much as the thought of forever terrifies me into being scared of Heaven, it's a nice thought.
Exodus 15:2 "The Lord is my strength and my song; He has given me victory. This is my God and I will praise him - my father's God, and I will exalt him!"
2 Corinthians 10:5 "We destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God. We ccaptrue their rebellious thoughts and teach the to obey Christ."
Hebrews 10:23 "Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise."
