Today's promise: God's timing is perfect
No need to worry
Let heaven fill your thoughts. Do not think only about things down here on earth.
Worry is the interest paid on trouble before it falls due.
It is not work that kills men; it is worry. Worry is rust upon the blade.
Colossians 3:2 NLT
Worry is the interest paid on trouble before it falls due.
Author unknown
It is not work that kills men; it is worry. Worry is rust upon the blade.
Henry Ward Beecher
Lessons of a circuit rider
In his circuit-riding days, Lincoln and his companions, riding to the next session of court, had crossed many rivers. But the Fox River was still ahead of them; and they said one to another, "If these streams gives us so much trouble, how shall we get over the Fox River?"
When darkness fell, they stopped for the night at a log tavern, where they fell in with the Methodist presiding elder of the district, who rode through the country in all kinds of weather and knew all about the Fox River. They gath ered around him and asked him about the present state of the river.
"Oh, yes," replied the circuit rider, "I know all the Fox River. I have crossed it often and understand it well. But I have one fixed rule with regard to the Fox River — I never cross it till I reach it."
