I would like to share my testimony about how finding time for the Lord helps us with everything else – because He cares about us! One day, I had to decide whether I’m going to spend my time occupied with earthly matters, planning 5 math lessons in Danish. I was supposed to teach in just 2 days (I study teaching in Denmark).
On the following day, I had to take my baby to the hospital. Suddenly, I was afraid that I couldn’t manage to do it all – plan my lessons and also connect to our online Bible study group. Fear started to overcome me but Holy Spirit gave me a thought: when we prioritize Jesus, He helps us with everything else.
I remembered Bible verses from the Bible – Matthew 6: 33-34 – “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.“
Finally, I decided to join our online prayer group and spend some time in Jesus’ presence. That night, the Lord showed me ideas for various activities which I used for lesson planning. Usually, planning and creating activities which motivate and make students interact takes one to two full days. But Jesus showed His glory again and gave me wisdom and creativity to plan these lessons in only 2 hours. Thanks to Jesus, my students really liked the lessons and all of them were engaged. In the end, I did it all with Jesus‘ help and it was for God’s glory.
Therefore, I want to encourage you not to worry about earthly things but first spend time with the Lord and invite Him to every situation during the day. He uses every second to help us grow in Him so that our faith and trust in Him increases every day and our relationship deepens. Be blessed in Jesus’ name, amen.
