This is the day that the Lord has made let us rejoice and be glad in it! Psalm 118:24

Do you sometimes feel as if you are a plate juggler? I remember watching a famous juggler on stage spinning these dinner plates round and round. Each plate needed his guiding hand to push it more and more. If the juggler took his eyes off the plate and forgot it, the plates would begin to fall. I am so glad that I am not in control of all the plates that God has given me to keep spinning. I am so easily distracted that I know they would simply crash. He knows which plates need our attention. That's why we get these little promptings in our ears. Do we listen or do we continue to focus on another plate?

I am teaching you the way of wisdom; I am guiding you on straight paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hindered; when you run, you will not stumble. Proverbs 4:11-12

Thank you God for keeping all these plates spinning. I can't do it myself. I know you have given me these plates, some will fall and some will break. I know you will provide new plates that you
want me to spin. Help me to have courage to keep spinning the plates that you want me to spin, and give me peace to pick up the pieces and start again. In Jesus' name. ~amen
