Dear Beloved,
Who are my list makers? You know who you are! Nothing wrong with having lists, of course, but it’s easy to make a god out of our living list. The false security we gain by thinking we’re actually in control of our lives can be a hard pill to swallow when it all comes crashing down. Instead, find your peace and security in Christ alone. This is the solid foundation upon which we hang our hopes, our dreams and our lives. Check THAT off your list and you’re sure to be on the right track! Peace and Love, Scott

Do Not Search For Security in the world you inhabit. You tend to make mental checklists of things you need to do in order to gain control of your life. If only you could check everything off your list, you could relax and be at peace. But the more you work to accomplish that goal, the more things crop up on your list. The harder you try, the more frustrated you become.
2 Corinthians 4:18 18So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
There is a better way to find security in this life. Instead of scrutinizing your checklist, focus your attention on My Presence with you. This continual contact with Me will keep you in My Peace. Moreover, I will help you sort out what is important and what is not, what needs to be done now and what does not. Fix your eyes not on what is seen (your circumstances), but on what is unseen (My Presence).
Isaiah 26:3
You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You.2 Corinthians 4:18 18So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
