My favorite devotional book, currently, is Sarah Young's Jesus Calling. Today's entry dealt with the question, "Who do you worship?" Now you have to remember that these devotionals are written as if Jesus was sitting across the table from you and talking with you.
Folks who at least profess to have some sort of belief in God, whether they attend church or not, would quickly answer that question about worship by stating, "I worship God."
That's a great Sunday School answer--but remember our scenario at the beginning? Jesus is sitting across the table from you, looking straight in your eyes, actually looking deep into your soul.
He gently answers His own question for you. "Whatever occupies your mind the mos is your god."
That focus could well be anxiety (which can cover every aspect of our lives). Worry about health, financial security, relationships, natural disasters, political situations, terrorism--those are just some "big" items we can worry about.
Break the bondage of anxiety by focusing on Jesus, the One who gives us peace. Remember the Christmas story in Luke, chapter 2 where the angels sang of Jesus' birth--"Peace..."
Ms. Young chose an interesting scripture to close today's devotional entry--
"He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord." Psalm 112:7
