From A to Z
Lately my mind has been aflutter with all kinds of lists, thoughts, and ideas bouncing off each other like so much alphabet soup. Ben's teacher has a bulletin board like that. She put up all kinds of things that people read, but they were thrown up there really random. I think the kids were supposed to write the items down in alphabetical order. For those with questionable executive functioning, that assignment could cause vertigo. I see why Ben didn't get it done. He is my kid and I can't think in clutter. I guess the board is kind of a cute idea. Not if you only have a few minutes to do it. Life is like that board and the aforementioned soup. Things get all scrambled up and we can't sort it all out properly, especially not in a hurry.
I am so glad that First Peter 5:6 tells us to cast all of our cares on Him (Jesus) for He cares for us.
Cast: verb (1) : to throw off or away <the horse cast a shoe> (2) : to get rid of : discard
If I would just remember that Jesus cares very much for me, I wouldn't get intellectual or spiritual vertigo.
Psalm 46:10 says to be still and know that I AM God.
So I need to stop running around trying to put all of the pieces together alone. The Lord promised a Helper, and a Helper He did send to remind me of all that the Lord has and is teaching me. I think too much sometimes. I need to be more like Mary and sit still at the Master's feet to listen and know that He is God. Some things may be a cute idea for a bulletin board, but they are not helpful nor effective in helping us to know that HE is God, from beginning to end.
