It’s been a pretty busy week for me
as a graduate student and I keep hearing friends complain about their stress
levels. I decided to post some encouragement from one of my favorite nineteenth
century pastors:
It
is not the cares of today, but the cares of tomorrow that weigh a man down.
–George MacDonald
The best preparation for the future is the present
well seen to, and the last duty done. –George MacDonald
Anything
big enough to occupy our minds is big enough to hang a prayer on. –George
MacDonald
Work
is not always required. There is such a thing as sacred idleness. –George MacDonald
This
morning I read Colossians 3:23 and it also has some good advice to offer for
anyone who feels like they are drowning in responsibilities:
And whatever you
do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men.
Ask
yourself of all these things you are doing, “Who am I doing this for?” If the
answer is God, then you should be glad of the responsibilities He has given
you. If the answer is anyone else…then why are you doing it?
