Be anxious for nothing

Anxious thoughts. Skirting the edges. Almost incognito. 

Fears. Simmering just below the surface.

Concerns for loved ones and various situations. Rippling through as world crises ramp up. 

Then, His Word. Memorized long ago. Invades with precision. Cutting through the muddle.

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God” (Philippians 4:6 NASB).

Devotional Making Disciples

Rhythm and order

Rhythm and order. Discipline. With a pattern specifically laid out for God’s people in the Old Testament.

Daily. Weekly. Monthly. Annually. 

With sacrifices. Sacred assemblies. Festivals. 

Divinely-designed schedules. Reminding them to remember. And honor the Lord their God. 

As a people set apart for His glory.
