Putting God in Charge

It's the Christmas season. There are play practices, gift exchanges, semester tests, travel plans, company parties, extra baking, and shopping, lots of shopping.
Now is the time to remember who is in charge, Psalms 46:10 "Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." Let go of your troubles and worries - give them to God to handle. The God who created the moon, stars, the earth and each of us; can handle our everyday crisies. If we'd just let go!
As Jesus became better and better known, he sought his heavenly Father in solitude.See Matthew 14:23,you may want to read verses 13-33 to see what was going on; then look up Mark 1:29-35 (Jesus heals many and then prays in a solitary place) and of course Luke 22:41(praying alone at the mount of olives). As we celebrate Christ's birth, let's learn from his example. Quiet time with God is good for all of us especially when we get busy and stressed out. Seek out your Heavenly Father, refresh yourself with quiet one on one time with Him.
Another memory verse for you: "The Lord is my light and my salvation - whom shall I fear?The Lord is the stronghold of my life - of whom shall I be afraid?" Psalms 27:1 Keep Jesus as your guiding star this season and always; and just keep reading that Bible.
