Today's Food for Thought (October 5, 2017)

There's not enough room in my mind for both worry and faith. You must decide which one will live there.

Do not allow worry to take over your mind. For whatever is going to happen will happen, whether you worry or not. The journey itself is going to change you, so you don’t have to worry about memorizing the route you took to accomplish that change. For better or for worse, cultivate your own little garden. For better or for worse, play your own little instrument in the orchestra of life. Have faith that assures, insures and endures. Praise more to remind yourself of life's wonder and the ultimate outworking of good. Hold on to the truth that God is always present, even in challenging circumstances. Divine order prevails.

Do you know why God blessed you another morning to wake up? It's to forget the pains of yesterday, and see the change the new day has brought, to dance and laugh again, to make up the wrong things you've done, to see your friends, to love again, to make others feel happy. It's more than just another long day ahead. It's God's way of reminding you that He cares and loves everyone of us. The larger our faith, the lesser our fear; the greater our trust, the smaller our doubt, the stronger our belief, the weaker our worries, and though life is so complicated, it's always beautiful. Walls of worry surround us everyday and we can never run away. But remember, walls only block the sides, never the sky.
