I stayed at a friends house last night so I could drive him to the airport this morning. Him being the talker he is kept yapping on until I finally asked him to please 'SHUT UP'.
Now I'm not a good driver on best of days and being so tired I was worrying about the drive to the airport. Of course to add insult to injury they decided to have a detour due to road work and that confuses this navigationally challenged girl even more. Long story short, he got there fine.
While driving to work from the airport I began to wonder why I was feeling so tense, my shoulders were bunched up like they they were yanked upwards by a vice and twisted a bit. Then it came to me, worrying had created this! Worry, that simple word that expresses so much of my angst. It's like trying to watch water boil...no matter how long you stare at it, the water will not boil until the temperature is right and the chemicals react to the heat. Nothing else will work.
God's plan is like this. I can worry and fret and plan and manuever but until it's lined up the way God wants it nothing I do will change it. So today, I'm going to pass on the worry. I have better things to do with my mind.
Proverbs 12:25
Worry weighs a person down; an encouraging word cheers a person up.
