The Next Thing




Daily Gratitude Year 4-Day 197: Today, I am grateful for the freedom that comes from choosing to simply do "the next thing".
Life gets overwhelming at times. We stand in front if the calendar and wonder how we will have the time and energy to meet the days ahead. Elisabeth Elliot offers great advice.
"Do the next thing." In other words, do the thing in front of you at this moment. Angst over the tasks ahead drain us. Do something. Press on. Move forward.
The Bible is full of examples of taking on one thing at a time.
Biting off more than we can chew happens. Trusting the hand of our capable God can carry us through.
Yes...today, I am grateful for the freedom that comes from choosing to simply do "the next thing".
