Wanna hear a little story about my amazing Monday? I arrived at work to learn that one of my dietary managers had been in a serious car accident. I’ll need to take a more hands-on role in kitchen management. An hour later, I got a call from a second dietary manager that state surveyors were in the building. I left immediately for the surveyed building. Later that day, another phone call notified me that the third of my dietary managers would be taking two weeks of medical leave immediately. I’d be taking on all charting and some additional tasks at that facility as well.
So I’ve been a bit stressed. Things have been a bit hectic.
But not my life.
Because my circumstances are not my life.
Christ Jesus is my life.
This week I’m thankful…
…that God never gives us more than He can handle
“And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”
~Philippians 4:19
…that my life is hidden with Christ
“For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.”
~Colossians 3:3-4
…that this world is temporary
“And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.”
~1 John 2:17
…that I have an eternal hope
“But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.”
~Titus 3:4-7
These circumstances are not my life.
Christ Jesus is my Life.
Thank you, Lord.
Awesome inspirational insight!
