I have spent several years of my working experiences working in the Sales Industry. Certainly a principal trait that I have observed in the character of most successful sales professional is, they have learned the value of keeping their minds focused on what matters most.
So often we as people get our minds fixated on things that we can’t change or impact certainly in a day’s time. And you know how it goes, what we can change, affects us the least and what we can’t change, affects us the most, “read that through twice don’t want you to miss that truth.”
Kind of reminds me of a teaching of Jesus, check this out Matthew6:34“Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day [is] the evil thereof.”
Think about that for minute Jesus the God man who has in himself the power to speak life into a dead man, is teaching his disciples that each day has enough evil in itself, so just concern your self in the dealings of the day and whatever tomorrow brings, concern yourself with tomorrow on tomorrow.
Now how practical is that, as you are reading this short devotion: quick, stop and ponder how much of your day has been spent on thinking about things that will not occur before the end of the day. I can hear some of you saying, “preacher, make it plain.”
Ok, okay here goes, some of us have already spent most of the day concerning ourselves with things that for all intensive purposes may or may not even happen, certainly before days end. This is why Jesus tells his disciples that concerning your self with problems that might happen at some point in the future is silly. And you already know!!! Jesus holds the key to our future. So in the words of my beautiful wife “quit worrying about it would you?”
