I was thinking this morning about how sometimes I get so worried, I begin to allow the uncertainties I face affect how I approach each day. I was taken back in my mind to a simpler time when all I had to worry about was if the bus got me home in time for my favorite show (take a second and see if this takes you back at all...)
Watching this made me think about a choice I have to make today in the face of uncertainty: will I have the attitude of a mere man and his cringing cat or will I don the power of the real master of the universe and realize that with the strength of the Lord I can truly conquer life for His glory? Will I trust in the words of Paul when he (often in chains) said, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me"? Will I truly adopt his attitude and rejoice in all circumstances knowing that the testing of my faith today only produces endurance for tomorrow?
As I was taken back for a moment I had a brief opportunity to realize that the ease of life as a child is exactly what God wants to bless me with as an adult with bills and responsibilities...all it requires of me is to close my ears to the negative whispers of Satan and open my heart to His peace, a peace that passes ALL understanding! So for today my prayer is that God fill me with His power and confidence which will allow me to stand tall against the "evil masters of the universe", but in order for this to happen I need to hear His voice calling from the heavens reminding me that He is ready to do great things in my life if I will only "Get out of His way!"
Comment back and let me know how God can or has empowered you to be a "Master of the Universe" for His glory. Have a blessed day!

Great thought son. You have captured God's message to us when we are told to live for the day and leave the tomorrows as well as the yesterdays in our lives.
We can't worry about nor change them. God is so good to forgive our yesterdays, stand by us today and give us hope for tomorrow.
Your faith makes a dad proud.
I love you
