Don't be Overwhelmed

Do you ever feel like circumstances and people around you are creeping up and overtaking you? Do you feel bogged down and overwhelmed? In order to keep people and things from getting to you, first you have to get to God! Things and people will keep dogging you in your mind. In your subconscious thinking, they'll catch you and tag you and say, "Ha! You're it!" You will feel caught, obligated in your mind to those things, unless every day you start by running straight for the safe base and begin the day there.

Every day, run to home base and linger there until you're filled up with the Spirit of God and equipped, ready with the game plan for the coming day. Yesterday's manna is now stale -- it was for yesterday. We need new bread for each new day.

Jesus said, "I assure you. Moses didn't give them bread from heaven. My Father did. And now he offers you the true bread from heaven. The true bread of God is the one who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."

"Sir," they said, "give us that bread every day of our lives."

Jesus replied, "I am the bread of life. No one who comes to me will ever be hungry again. Those who believe in me will never thirst. But you haven't believed in me even though you have seen me. However, those the Father has given me will come to me, and I will never reject them." -- John 6:32-37 (NLT)

Never stop coming to Jesus.
