Just a thought by coppi

Charles Spurgeon warned:

“Beware of no man more than yourself; we carry our worst enemies within us.”

When I read this, I can hear my mother saying, “Coppi, you cannot run away from your difficulties because you have to take yourself with you.”  So often in my life, I thought if I could be somewhere else, a different environment, far away from where I was, I would not hurt or have to face the pain I was enduring.  My mother’s wisdom was correct, I can’t run away from me.  1 Peter 5:7:  let Him have all your worries & cares for He is always thinking about you & watching everything that concerns you…….Ps 55/2 Give your burdens to the Lord & He will take care of you.  Not easy for me as I find I have the habit of picking up “the sack of potatoes” & dragging them around with me again.  Take them, leave them & trust Him to carry you through whatever your concerns are….it might not be tomorrow or the next day, or the day after, but He will do it. In His time.
