1 Peter 5:6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under Gods mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
I just love the book, The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren. The first sentence in the first chapter says, “It’s not about you”. This phrase sent my mind on a journey of learning to trust in my Lord more than I ever had before. For months that phrase was stuck in my thoughts teaching me in every area of my life how it can be about God and not about me.
Life is more enjoyable when you live it being about God and not about yourself. Being consumed with troubles and trying to figure it out for yourself is far more complicated then giving it to God and seeing it through His perspective. When words and actions hurt, praying through it and staying humble outweighs sinking into depression or making hasty emotional decisions.
It’s cloudy on this day at Starbucks, but it reminds me that God is good, all the time. He is good when the grey cloud is hovering over our head and He is good when the sun is shining brightly. Cast your anxiety on Him, He is worth it.
