Today we are preparing to be gone for the next four days for our granddaughter’s wedding in Oklahoma City. Just because it is the dead of summer and gardening is at its peak, I have lots on my mind to remember to do this last day. So, when I got up and headed out to start the sprinklers on a portion of the garden I suddenly remembered I needed to check in for our seats on the airline. I quickly called up the app on my phone and completed this. I then had a flood of things I need to do today coming to mind. As I sat down to have my devotional time I was reminded that today is just a day and the same God who organized the universe will oversee any details for this day. I can relax. So, I simply made a list of what’s on my mind and all is good.

As I was going through my time with God I again surrendered myself to The Holy Spirit. It was then that I realized just how much He had already done making today so doable. Wednesday’s are a full counseling day. Last week when I was alerting the evening ones that I’d need to take this evening off for prep, there was no problem. In fact the last group finished last week leaving the 7-8:00 pm block free. The two before this couldn’t make their appointments tonight anyway. During the day yesterday, the other appointments needed to cancel today so I only have one appointment early afternoon and I’m then done. I just had to thank God for His kind thoroughness!

Living for Jesus has its moments. But, I’m finding that my greatest hindrance is me. When I am fully surrendered and remembering to stay this way, I am free–free of the bondage I put in my own way, not realizing until later, to stop–Let God take the lead. Today I want to keep this in front of me all day long.
