This morning, as I do almost every morning, after taking my son to school I came home, turned on TBN, got my notebook and bible and Diet Pepsi (ok, my coffee is carbonated), and sat down to watch Joseph Prince. When Joseph is over I turn to Joyce Meyer. I take notes from each teaching, writing their scripture references from my NIV. this morning Joseph spoke on Letting Go and Letting God's Blessings Flow. When we stop worrying God will step in. Worrying squashes the works of God. The devil uses our worries to block God's provisions and test our faith. The holiest thing we can do is rest; be in God's rest

I took a page of notes. I felt it spoke to me since I have started a new job as a sales consultant and have not been getting the sales I was hoping I would. I pray before each appointment for God to bless this meeting, allow this client to accept what I offer, etc. My finances are not where they need to be right now, being out of work since early Dec., a lot of bills and expenses (sales requires driving which requires gas...).
So then I turn to Joyce Meyer. She spoke on being content and emotionally stable, not letting the problems of the day upset you, not to worry because it takes away what God could be doing. John 14:27 My peace I leave with you... It's all about trusting God, He has purposes we don't understand. Worrying does no good anyway, it won't change anything it just makes us miserable. Give all our concerns to God and leave them there.
Do you see a pattern here? So when Joyce was over I went to my computer to check if I have morning appointments today, nothing so far, and I left the tv on. While sitting here Jeremy Pearsons came on (I haven't watched him before) and his teaching was on NOT WORRYING! Giving up all our cares and concerns to God and let Him handle them in His way and His timing.
I do spend far too much time mentally on what I could have said, could have offered, could have done to sell that last client. If only God would....then I could pay this....I could put more in the offering plate this Sunday....I could help that guy on the corner....
So I am vowing to stop worrying over these things and let God take over. If I sell my next client so be it and Praise God! If I don't, then so be it and Praise God! Praise God! The sun came up so Praise God! Thank you God for everything, today, yesterday and all my tomorrows!
