"Do not search for security in the world you inhabit. You tend to make mental checklists of things you need to do in order to gain control of your life. If only you could check everything off your list, you could relax and be at peace. (How true)!
There is a better way to find security in this life. Instead of scrutinizing your check list, focus your attention on God's presence with you. This continual contact with Him will keep you in His peace. Moreover, He will help you sort out what is important and what is not, what needs to be done now and what does not. Fix our eyes not on what is seen (your circumstances) but on what is unseen (His presence)." Sarah Young
I have so many mental checklists going that this is a perfect devotional for me. How many of us make these mental checklists to get through the day?
