"Commit to the Lord whatever you do,
and he will establish your plans."
Proverbs 16:3
"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."
Matthew 6:33
Today's devo reminds me of an experiment I used to do with my students. I took 2 cups of unshelled walnuts, which represents what God wants us to do, and a cup of rice, which represents what I want to do. When I placed the rice in a 2 cup measuring cup first, the walnuts (what God wants us to do) doesn't fit. BUT, when I placed the walnuts in first, and then added the rice (what I want to do), then the rice fills-in around the walnuts, and there is time for everything!
It's a hard balance, isn't it!
Until next time...
Blessings!

Love this today. Yep if we do what is right by God and then add in a little of what we want it makes for a perfect balance. That is a great experiment you did with the kids. Love that analogy. Have a great weekend. xoxo
