i must admit, i'm the biggest worrier in the world. but in reading Philippians 4:4-20 today, i know that i cannot be a "worrier" and i must be a "warrior." Jesus has already fought the good, long battle for me, so then, why do i fear?
what applies to me especially today is verse 6 telling me "do not be anxious about anything." i have a HUGE exam today and i have been especially worried. i don't know what to expect, we didn't cover many of the things on the study guide and there's so much information that to me it seems impossible to know it all. but WAIT, verse 13 tells me that "I can do all things through HE who gives me strength." Shouldn't this promise be enough to reassure me? I feel that it is my nature as a human being to have doubts and sometimes not believe that I can do things, but I must try to practice the fact that I cannot doubt my Almighty God, because he will work for the good of those who love Him and He has great plans for me.
I must set sight on heavenly things, focus on reality and not on what i cannot change. God has already predetermined what is going to happen on this test and i know that i've done my readings and studied. whatever happens is his will.
the same goes for my life. i shouldn't sweat the small things (soooo hard for me to do! i always stress!) but i should know that there is a plan for me and no matter what i do, i'm not changing the original design for my life. i was meant for great things and i can do it, but only with God's gracious helping hand.
