Resting Tomorrow or Borrowing Trouble?
Devotional thought from the messages of Adrian Rogers
BIBLE MEDITATION:
Psalm 116:7 - “Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.”
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
I heard of a woman who woke up her husband because she thought she heard a burglar downstairs. He went down with a flashlight and was shining it around. Sure enough, there was a burglar in their home. He said, “Hold it right there. I’ve got a gun on you.”
He picked up the phone and dialed the police. “And another thing,” he said, “Before you go, I want my wife to come down here and meet you. She’s been looking for you for 24 years.”
A lot of people are that way. They borrow trouble by anticipating or worrying about what may happen. What you need to do is stop looking to yesterday in guilt or anticipating tomorrow with anxiety.
ACTION POINT:
Simply rest in the day the Lord has given you today.

Down At The Cross
Down at the cross where my Savior died,
Down where for cleansing from sin I cried,
There to my heart was the blood applied;
Glory to His Name!
I am so wondrously saved from sin,
Jesus so sweetly abides within;
There at the cross where He took me in;
Glory to His Name!
Oh, precious fountain that saves from sin,
I am so glad I have entered in;
There Jesus saves me and keeps me clean;
Glory to His Name!
Come to this fountain so rich and sweet,
Cast thy poor soul at the Savior’s feet;
Plunge in today, and be made complete;
Glory to His Name!
Down where for cleansing from sin I cried,
There to my heart was the blood applied;
Glory to His Name!
Refrain
Glory to His Name, glory to His Name:
There to my heart was the blood applied;
Glory to His Name!
There to my heart was the blood applied;
Glory to His Name!
Jesus so sweetly abides within;
There at the cross where He took me in;
Glory to His Name!
Refrain
I am so glad I have entered in;
There Jesus saves me and keeps me clean;
Glory to His Name!
Refrain
Cast thy poor soul at the Savior’s feet;
Plunge in today, and be made complete;
Glory to His Name!
Refrain
Daily Smile
"You know you are getting old when you stoop to tie your shoes and wonder what else you can do while you're down there."
