It's Monday ---

I trust you awakened this Monday morning encouraged and excited about beginning your work week.  But perhaps there are some who feel a little overwhelmed with the pressures of life, decisions to make, deadlines to meet, etc.  Perhaps you are tempted to be a little anxious about various concerns in your life, but I'm glad to tell you that you don't need to be!  When we think of our Heavenly Father's care for us, the wonderful promises in His Holy Word--we can just place all our cares on Him and know that He has promised to direct our paths, be our guide,  and never leave us nor forsake us!  What a blessed Friend we have in Jesus!!

I love this little quote by George MacDonald:

     "No man ever sank under the burden of the day.  It is when tomorrow's burden is added to the burden of  today that the weight is more than a man can bear.
      Never load yourself so.  If you find yourself so loaded, at least remember this: it is your own doing, not God's.  He begs you to leave the future to Him, and mind the present."

Remember this wonderful promise from Jesus' Sermon on the Mount:  "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."  Matthew 6:33
