. . . so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus . . . —Acts 20:24
From the song…..
And now everything is falling into place
A brand new life is calling and I owe it all to grace
It’s So much brighter living in your world
Savior what you did for me
You gave me something I want everyone, and I mean everyone to see

Journal for Today-JDV
Lord, this song reminds me that I am learning to be the light, and my ability to learn to be the light comes from my connection with You. It has nothing to do with my abilities, gifts or even opportunities. All those follow my connection and relationship with You.
And God says…”I will equip and provide all that you need when you walk in My will for your life. And you know My will for your life includes my commandments; love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind and soul, and love your neighbor just as you would yourself. As you pursue My will and commandments from Jesus, you are transformed, equipped, and given opportunities. And as you seek Me everything else you need will be provided. You are then free from every worry and care to learn to be the light.”

Good morning, Lord
Today I have so many things to get done. Or things that could get done. I know they wont all happen. Help me choose the best and forget the rest. I dont know if that is your will or just good time management for a non-multi-tasker like me.
You will notice from reading the gospels that I avoided overload and stress by staying in the moment and focusing 100% on the task at hand … and that I knew what that was from spending time with Dad.
John 5:19-20 “I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself. He does only what he sees the Father doing. Whatever the Father does, the Son also does. 20 For the Father loves the Son and shows him everything he is doing.
That is my prayer, that as I spend time in prayer that I can get laser clear on what you would have me do and help me gracefully decline and off-load the rest … without guilt.
