Thoughts from Jesus Calling July 9th

God is telling us not to worry about anything. We cannot let our worry on something small hold us back from seeking Him in all we do. Worrying is not good. It is totally against the Lord and all He teaches us. Worrying keeps us from hearing God's voice and what He has to tell us. It gets caught among the worry in your mind and everything begins to sound just loud and confusing. We have to use power within us that He has blessed us with. Power to sit in the silence and be filled, surrounded with, and hear the Presence of Him. The more we practice sitting in silence, the better we will get at hearing His voice and guidance.

This verse is totally the best sum up of what we should be doing every single day of our lives.
Romans 12:1-2 (MSG)
So here's what I want you to do, God helping you. Take your everyday, ordinary life - your sleeping, eating, going to work, and walking around life - and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don't become so well adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what He wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity. God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.
