January 27-Matthew 6:25-“Take no thought for your life.”

Remember to read “My Utmost for His Highest” for Today

MY THINKING

Lord, walk across my thinking and sift me with Your love.

Help me to relax with purpose, focusing on You above.

Lord, walk across my thinking. May I disregard what is not Thine.

Knowing that Your Care caresses, every moment, precisely on time.

Lord, please walk across my thinking. Root each bitter spirit out.

Help me to keep my focus, when distractions entertain doubts.

Lord, walk across my thinking. Elevate my thoughts to You.

If discouragement disables progress, remind me that revival  is true.

Lord, walk across my loving. Help me to forgive those who perpetuate sin.

As I forgive the wounds from others, God and I will eventually win.

JOURNAL JOTTINGS: Distractions of various kinds are draining.

List your daily priorities. Beside each, write if eternal or temporal value.

List the things that distract from eternal priorities. How might you reorganize your life to accomplish more items from the eternal value list? Do you need to eliminate some activities during this season of your life? Time cannot be replenished. THINK.

Dear Lord, Thank You that you are teaching me about eternal values and eternal points of view. Help me to accentuate the eternal, valuable things of life and minimize the importance of trivial and mundane activities. Teach me Balance, Lord. Help me to use my time wisely for Your Honor and Your Glory, In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
