Give Yourself Margin

I’m pretty good about doing Devotional time every morning. I usually start with YouVersion’s Verse of the Day on my iPhone. Alas, this morning a notification caught my attention. Then Twitter. Then email. Then my calendar. And then, the stress started building up. And then …

And then I looked up…

I saw the sun that was just starting its rise shining its first rays of light on the trees. God reminded me to stop. Pay attention to His glory.

And the stress went away.

If you are not Christian (or Religious as people like to say), then I say to you (1) you should let Christ into your heart as it does amazing things. And, (2), take some time out this day. Take a breath. Give yourself some margin. Your workday will be a ton more productive and your weekend will be off to a much better start tomorrow.
