Letting go is not a one-time decision; it is a daily practice. The enemy will try to draw us back into striving. The world will tell us that if we don't chase, we will miss out. Our own anxious thoughts will whisper that we are falling behind.

But the Shepherd leads us beside still waters. He restores our soul. He guides us in paths of righteousness. And because He is our Shepherd, we shall not want.

Joseph exemplified this truth. He was not anxious about his future. He was not manipulating circumstances to find a wife. He was focused on his assignment—managing Egypt's resources, preparing for the famine, serving faithfully in the position God had given him. And while Joseph was busy with his work, God was busy with his future.

At noon, we focus on what God has given us to do today.

Let us pray …
