I’d be lying to you if I didn’t confess just how anxious, uptight I am about the TV interview taking place tomorrow morning. Just typing these words make me realize my need to surrender it. The interview is tomorrow and scripture says to not worry about tomorrow. God is in today and He will be in tomorrow when tomorrow arrives. How well I know all this in my head and how much I need to have this anchored each morning and throughout the day. Today is one of the ones where I need it anchored several times throughout the day.
I heard something from the speaker at church yesterday that was powerfully important for me. He said that Jesus is wanting our faith in Him to be just like the faith a child has in their daddy. Examples were, when a daddy tells his son they are going to town, the son never questions whether daddy knows how to get there or if daddy knows how to use what they are buying, or if they can get back home from wherever they are headed, or anything else. The son just goes and typically goes with some level of excitement for he gets to go with daddy. When the speaker said this I was nudged by The Holy Spirit telling me that this is the kind of faith Christ is wanting me to have in Him. My anxiousness about tomorrow is certainly a lack of trust in what Christ is doing with tomorrow. Instead of living in the victory of being a tool for Christ, I’m dwelling in the anxiety of whether or not I’m the right tool.
There is one more thing that Christ is making clear for me about the assignments he is giving me to complete for Him. This morning in my devotions He was speaking to me regarding assignments. Being the educator I am I know that assignments are typically a series of problems or a complex problem with some definition of the complexity. When we get an assignment given to us we are to solve the problems or to step into resolving the complexity of a problem that may have more than one solution. Jesus made it clear that He has helped me resolve a huge problem that has haunted me most of my life. Now He is wanting me to help others resolve their own through Him. A major step in this process is bringing the problem into the Light so a person can see clearly what is needing to be done. Christ’s light does this for us when we will expose the problem we are facing.
Tomorrow will be dealt with tomorrow. I am going to work with today and see what God wants me doing in this day’s assignment. I’ll tell you right now, typing out this blog has already helped me. I see more clearly how I want to celebrate getting to complete an assignment for Christ. Thanks for hearing me out on this.

I have been praying. I thank God that He is using you in this way. I found an old song with some interesting lyrics. I thought of you, since you are so musical. The name of the song is “I Worship Thee, O Holy Ghost”. The words I liked were, ” I Worship Thee, O Holy Ghost. I love to worship Thee. With Thee each day is Pentecost, Each night Nativity.” The only thing that is missing, I think, is “each morning Easter.” Thanks for letting God use you.
