Day 8 - No worries

Day 8 - Wow - what a day.

It was trial time. I rarely eat during trial days. Today was no exception. I managed a protein bar before leaving, had a black coffee on the way home, and a turkey sandwich with a handful of nacho chips for dinner.

I also didn't execercise. I planned on going for a two to three mile run after my sandwich, but Mark needed to talk to me about some pretty important matters. There are some changes being made to his company and a big announcement is being made next Monday. Nothing like having to sit and stew for a week. By the time he and I finished talking, it was 10:00 p.m..

Before turning to the Bible myself, I told Mark I was interested in what his reading would show. I was interested to learn that when he opened the Bible, would he read passages like "don't worry" or would he read something like "the wrath of God is upon you." I turned to my appointed reading for the day. The Old Testament talked how God promised Sarah a son of her own, and how God saved Abraham's nephew Lot from perishing in the downfall of Sodom and Gomorrah. The New Testament, opened with "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear." Matthew 6:25. Immediate peace.

"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:33-34.
