Race cars darting around a track. Moving so fast. Expending too much energy. Never really going anywhere, just completing the circuit over and over again.This morning I think I have a race track in my head full of stock cars charging around the pavement. Some are financial decisions; some are family health issues; some are tasks to be accomplished. The track is full. Exhaust fumes cloud clear thinking. What is a woman to do on a day like this?
There are many plans in a man’s heart, nevertheless the Lord ’s counsel—that will stand. (Proverbs 19:21 NKJV)
The only way to stop this race is pausing in God's Presence and hearing His words to my heart. Only then will the engines' roar cease and clear direction for my day emerge. I choose today to stop this race and hear God's specific direction for my day. When I allow Him to direct my day plan, I find satisfaction in accomplishing His purposes at the end of the day, not exhaustion from endless laps around a track going nowhere.
Please join me in my choice . I hear the Lord saying to me, "Stop your engines please."
