This morning I would think that a large percentage of people in America are thinking about their taxes. I know that I am. Jill is my tax person and she assures me that I made so little that I owe nothing this year. That is no surprise and quite a relief. I have to ask myself, why do I worry so much about the little things?
I was reading Luke 12 where Jesus is talking to his disciples. He says, "Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes... Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?"
When Jesus had to pay his taxes he told Peter to go catch a fish and in its' mouth he would find enough money to pay both his own and Peter's tax and that's exactly what happened when he did what Jesus said.
This has got me thinking more about doing what Jesus says. Every day I strive to do what Jesus says in the Scriptures, but I'm learning that Jesus is talking to me through other means and I'm not doing a great job of listening.
I feel like I'm on a new path; that a new chapter has begun for me in my life. There has been no security with the teams traveling overseas this year and so much of my life feels like it's hanging in the balance; but I know that God is in control.
How do we learn to trust God and listen to what He is saying more and more each day?
