Christian Commentary Encouraging Devotions

Ok, so I was less than perfect in a different work situation the other day.

"Less than perfect", hmmm.

Revealing statement.

Perfectionists will never achieve total happiness in this life!

Until or unless we submit to the words of Jesus...

I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

I came so they can have real and eternal life, more and better life than they ever dreamed of. John 10:10

"Beyond my control", hmmm.

Who is in control? Who should be in control?

When you and I accepted Jesus as Lord (= "Boss"), didn't we relinquish control?

Here's another thought.

Where do our anxious thoughts come from anyway?

Us? The devil? Enemies?

OK, who is the real enemy of our souls?

The devil.

But how does he get to mess with my sanctified, set apart, renewed mind?

Only if I let him.

Sooo, don't let him!

Alright, what am I supposed to do?

Thank God for the Bible!

When doubts filled my mind,

Your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer.

In the multitude of my thoughts within me, thy comforts delight my soul.

When anxiety was great within me,

if God hadn't been there for me,

I never would have made it.

The minute I said, "I'm slipping, I'm falling,"

Your love, God, took hold and held me fast.

When I was upset and beside myself,

You calmed me down and cheered me up. Psalm 94:19
