May 5, 2025 - Good Morning! It’s Monday, May 5.
I am a thoughtless person. And this morning I did a thoughtless thing.
I began this blog in March of 2020, sending out daily devotions each week to friends and family through emails, and to anyone through the Shelby County Today website. That was over five years ago, over 250 weeks ago, over 1500 devotions ago.
And then, this morning I woke up . . . without a thought in my head, I didn’t have a clue as to what I would share with you today. I was thoughtless! And then I remembered. Then I remembered a little verse from the sixth chapter of Matthew’s gospel - “Take no thought about your life”. These are red-letter words from the New Testament, words spoken by Jesus Himself, from His famed Sermon on the Mount. I remembered the scripture in the King James language. But modern versions use different words - “Don’t Worry!”
Later in that same chapter, in that same sermon, Christ says, “Can any one of you, by worrying, add a single hour to your life?” And then there’s the famous verse 33 - you know it - “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.” I had no words to share with you this morning, but His words are more powerful and wise and inspiring than any thoughts I could have possibly imagined.
I didn’t need to worry!
Meet you back here tomorrow,
David
