reVision and Serenity*

Serenity is best attained by not trying to control and/or change other people, places, and things.

— JMeyer —

Flashback

The other day I started down a rabbit hole and/or chasing a squirrel.

Whatever animal you prefer.

Then it dawned on me that what I was getting myself into was really none of my business and I immediately got out of the hole and/or stopped chasing the squirrel.

Whatever animal you prefer.

Fact

Why animals?

Because we are the only animal to whom God has given the ability to decide how we want to respond to any and all situations.

We have the ability to know what we can and cannot control.

We have the ability to know what we can and cannot change.

Observation

Through my social media feeds it has become apparent to me that the world these days is spending a significant amount of time on situations of which it has no control.

Through conversations with some of my friends it has become apparent to me that the world these days is spending a significant amount of time on situations of which it has no control.

Fact

The more time and energy you expend thinking, worrying, reading about, talking about, fearing about things you have no control over, the more time you are simply wasting.

The enemy loves for us to waste time.

God loves for us to view time as an asset intended to be wisely invested.

2021 reVision

What impactful reVisions have you made for 2021?

Captain Obvious

Those reVisions aren’t going to happen if you continue to put your energy towards, people, places, things, and situations you have no control over.

I always write from experience.

Proverbs 3:5-6, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.”

P.E.A.C.E.
