No time to stand up for myself…

…a sign of preoccupation with our Lord Jesus Christ – something I read from today’s (27th Jun) devotion passage from ‘My Utmost for His Highest’ (http://www.studylight.org/devos/utm/) by Oswald Chambers.

Just the third day of school and I’m feeling great anxiety and distress from the demands of my teaching job. Reading this passage helped me take a step back to see what I have allowed myself in for – getting upset by difficult situations and people and losing focus on what truly matters. I have been relying on my own wisdom and determination to push on rather than trusting in God’s deliverance and abiding in His peace which ‘transcends all understanding’. No wonder I feel so spent at the end of the day. Surely, His yoke is easy and His burden light. Knowing Him is liberating. :)
