What's on your Back Burner?

The last several days, I've had an air of stress about me. It didn't seem to matter what I was doing or who I was with, in the back of my brain, I had a million thoughts about a million things that "must" get done or be figured out. And all those million things running around back there, without one solution in sight, leads to great anxiety.

I'd mentioned this to Ross- that I just wish I could let go of all those things and be calm. This morning, I found a cure : )

Caleb woke up a little late today- so I had a few extra minutes this morning. I pondered what I should do on such a peaceful morning in such a peaceful, clean house (we had guests yesterday : ) ). It seemed like the perfect time to pick up the Word and spend a minute with Him. So I did.

I read a passage in Colossians about Christ's Supremacy. I read it once and tried to sink it in, then I read it again- praising God as I did. "Christ is the image of the invisible God. He makes You known. He shows us your heart in human form. Thank you, Jesus!!"

Reading and praising definitely boost one's joy and peace, but I even took it a step further and asked God if He would please put these thoughts on the back burner of my brain. That thoughts on Christ's authority, His fullness, the fact that He holds EVERYTHING together- that those thoughts would be dwelling in my mind.

And He has answered that prayer! Peace and joy abound as I consider that Christ is the fullness of everything I could ever need. Thanks, Jesus!

I encourage you to read this passage as well and to meditate on it. It is Colossians 1:15-20. Read and soak in the beauty and majesty of our Savior. But don't close your Bible and forget about Him, rather- let Him sit on the back burner guiding your thoughts and feelings throughout the day : )
