"JUST RELAX YALL!"

"Just Relax!"
Wow! God's word says a lot about just relaxing in Him...Just BE...don't try so hard to MAKE things happen!  That hit the nail on the head with us! The jest of Matthew 6:31-40 from The Message Translation is: "Don't be sooooooo occupied with GETTING that you can't respond to God's GIVING!" ~ Matthew 6:31-40
Rusty (my hubby) was reading The Message Translation of this verse this morning as we were sipping our favorite Coffee City USA coffee on the swing (1st day in a long time that the temp. was perfect for sitting outside that early in the morn...which was fab!) and he shared this verse with me:
 30-33"If God gives such attention to the appearance of wildflowers—most of which are never even seen—don't you think he'll attend to you, take pride in you, do his best for you? What I'm trying to do here is to get you to relax, to not be so preoccupied with getting, so you can respond to God's giving. People who don't know God and the way he works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how he works. Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don't worry about missing out. You'll find all your everyday human concerns will be met.

 34"Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don't get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes.

Sometimes, we want things right now and we don't want to wait!  That sure puts a lot of stress on our lives and means that we are not trusting God, the one who created us and loves us more than you can imagine.  It's hard to relax and not want to keep all of the ping-pong balls under the water.  But, yes you can...just put everything into His big hands and trust Him, have faith as He knows what is best for us and when it is best.

God "WANTS" to give you the desires of your heart...let Him give...He loves GIVING!!

You*Go*Go*Girlz!!!

God, we truly give YOU the glory in all things you do AND for what you are about to do in our lives!   Amen
