(Katie) With the end of the school year only 2 1/2 weeks away, my daily "to-do"lists get longer each day and more intimidating. In stressful times, I go into high action mode, focusing on deadlines and everything that I need to accomplish. While externally, I am achieving, crossing a lot off my list, internally, I am weary and exhausted. How can we approach our to-do lists with a posture of worship, not letting the tasks and tyranny of the urgent rob us of our peace and joy?
Today, my supervisor prayed over me the following phrase from Psalm 23: "The LORD is my shepherd; I have all that I need. He renews my strength."
I have all that I need. This phrase is not a question. This phrase is not a conditional statement. Its reality. Right now, I have access to all that I need: strength, joy, peace, perseverance, creativity, and clarity of mind. I possess it.
In this present moment, God has given me all that I need to write my final papers, complete final evaluations, help 586 students check out of Fischer Hall, and to be fully present in my meetings with students and staff.
Do you live your daily life believing the truth that "I have all that I need?"
This is God's promise to His people and He doesn't lie.
May God give you a fresh revelation that He has given you all that you need today, not to just check off each item on your "to-do" list, but to do each thing in a posture of worship, drawing from the fullness of peace and joy that we have access to through Christ!
