You wake up,
look at the time
& see that you have more hours to sleep.
You wake up again,
look at the time & realize that
those more hours are no longer
because you overslept~
& there is no way that you
can make up for loss time.
Not a big deal,
yet it has put me behind.
But oh how something so little
has me a wee bit thrown off.
Oh the power of
ONE!
ONE more cookie.
ONE little anxiety exploding into panic.
ONE little fear paralyzes you.
ONE little thought becomes all consuming.
ONE little mistake that escalades into shame.
But oh how the power of
ONE
changes everything~
When you exchange your
ONE little anxiety
&
"Let the peace of CHRIST [the inner calm of one who walks daily with HIM] be the controlling factor in your hearts [deciding and settling questions that arise]..." (Colossians 3:15)
When you exchange your
ONE little fear
&
“Don’t be afraid; just believe” (Mark 5:36)
When you exchange your
ONE little thought
by
"taking every thought & purpose captive to the obedience of CHRIST" (2 Corinthians 10:5)
When you exchange that
ONE little mistake
"If we [freely] admit that we have sinned & confess our sins, HE is faithful & just [true to HISown nature &promises], & will forgive our sins..." (I John 1:9)
I may be ONE hour behind today,
but I have the
ONE
who gives me so much more than I lost
because
JESUS
is the
ONE
who is never behind~
"For JESUS doesn't change - yesterday, today, tomorrow, HE'S always totally himself"
Hebrews 13:8
