Today, I am sitting at work and can't focus because I have so many things that I need to do at home. I need to balance the checkbook, work on our budget, and write out the bills. Our cupboards are lacking. I have food in them, but am missing key ingredients to finish the meal. Therefore, a trip must be made to the grocery store. And how can I forget about the laundry, picking up and cleaning of the house. Too many things for one person to think about doing on their own.
Fortunately, I have a wonderful husband who helps out around the house. But he is busy with his own work stuff as well so as a mom and wife, I feel bad asking for help.
As I am sitting here feeling my chest tighten while thinking about all of these things going on, I can't help but imagine a peace beyond all understanding that God talks about in the bible. Oh how I long to feel that peace as I think about all of these things. I would love to be Mary and just sit at his feet, listening to all he is saying.
God reminds me in his word, in Isaiah 26:12, that the Lord will establish a peace for us. All that we have accomplished he has done for us. This passage of scripture is refreshing. God knows all that I have to do. And he will give me the strength to do it. All I need to do is focus on the next task to complete and he will guide me to the finish line.
I am forever in his grip!
