Luke
12:22-26
And he said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious
about your life, what you will eat, nor about your body, what you will put on. 23 For
life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. 24 Consider
the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn,
and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds! 25 And
which of you by being anxious can add a
single hour to his span of life? 26 If then you are not
able to do as small a thing as that, why are you anxious about the rest?
Demonstrate your trust in Me by sitting
quietly in My Presence. Put aside all that is waiting to be done, and refuse to
worry about anything. This sacred time together strengthens you and prepares
you to face whatever the day will bring. By waiting with Me before you begin
the day's activities, you proclaim the reality of My Living Presence. This act
of faith--waiting before working--is noted in the spirit world, where your
demonstration of trust weakens principalities and powers of darkness.
The most effective way to resist evil is to draw near
Me. When you need to take action, I will guide you clearly through My Spirit
and My Word. The world is so complex and overstimulating that you can easily
lose your sense of direction. Doing countless unnecessary activities will
dissipate your energy. When you spend time with Me, I restore your sense of
direction. As you look to Me for guidance, I enable you to do less but
accomplish more.
Ephesians
6:12
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against
the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against
the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
Proverbs 16:3
Commit your work to the Lord,
and your plans will be established.
