Today’s blog corresponds to one of the points from Andy’s message at the Family Life Meeting on Saturday Night. If you didn’t have a chance to hear the message you can download soon here.
We can enjoy peace in busyness through daily spiritual disciplines.
SIGNS THAT YOU MIGHT NEED TO WORK IN THIS AREA:
· You don’t have consistent spiritual disciplines
· It is difficult to see the activity of God in your daily circumstances
· You’re can tend to complain or worry about things
Vision from God’s Word:
Philippians 4:4-7 4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. 5 Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; 6 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
