My precious Sunday School class, Women of Grace, gave me the sweetest going-away gift, a beautiful leather bound copy of Jesus Calling.
So it is appropriate that this blog's first Sunday Schoolism should be a page from that devotional book. (It is also appropriate that today is my first Sunday at Centenary United Methodist Church in McComb, Mississippi and that their women's Sunday School class is the Grace Class.....)
Stop trying to work things out before their times have come. Accept the limitations of living one day at a time. When something comes to your attention, ask Me whether or not it is part of today's agenda. If it isn't, release it into My care and go on about today's duties. When you follow this practice, there will be a beautiful simplicity about your life: a time for everything, and everything in its time.
A life lived close to Me is not complicated or cluttered. When your focus is on My Presence, many things that once troubled you lose their power over you. Though the world around you is messy and confusing, remember that I have overcome the world. I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have Peace.
Sarah Young
Jesus Calling
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven.
-Ecclesiastes 3:1
"I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."
-John 16:33
