Today's reading:
Genesis 11 and 12
Matthew 6

Genesis 12:1 The LORD had said to Abram, "Leave your country, your people, and your father's household and go to the land I will show you."

Matthew 6:25,27 Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life....Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?"

I wonder what Abram's first thought was....Was it "everyone"? Was it "that will be a trip"? Was it "super! let's get packed honey"...What was his second thought? His third thought? I would have worried - a lot - but disguised it under a million questions.

Then I flip to the NT and Jesus says "do not worry about your life"...

Learned something today that will alter my journey at work - nothing major - but a change, and I started thinking of a million questions. Then I started worrying...and then tonight's scripture. Timely, I think. I think the Lord is showing me some new land - and it's land that I won't be going to even though I would like to...and I'm reminded not to worry about my life.
