TRY TO SEE THINGS more and more from My perspective. Let the
Light of My Presence so fully fill your mind that you view the world
through Me. When little things don’t go as you had hoped, look to Me
lightheartedly and say, “Oh, well.” This simple discipline can protect
you from being burdened with an accumulation of petty cares and
frustrations. If you practice this diligently, you will make a life-changing
discovery: You realize that most of the things that worry you are not
important. If you shrug them off immediately and return your focus to
Me, you will walk through your days with lighter steps and a joyful heart.
When serious problems come your way, you will have more reserves
for dealing with them. You will not have squandered your energy on
petty problems. You may even reach the point where you can agree
with the apostle Paul that all your troubles are light and momentary,
compared with the eternal glory being achieved by them.
A man’s steps are directed by the LORD.
How then can anyone understand his own way?
PROVERBS 20 : 24
For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that
far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is
unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 17 – 18
