Blessed or Stressed: Pt 5 - Day 4

Reading: Proverbs 21:20, Luke 12:22-34

Devotional: Jesus said, "Don't worry about your life." Easy to say, hard to live—unless you build margin. Margin is the space between your load and your limit. When you spend everything, earn everything, and schedule everything, there's no room for God to move. The wise store up; fools gulp down. Margin in finances means you can be generous when God prompts. Margin in time means you're not always rushed and stressed. Margin in your heart means you can actually hear the Holy Spirit. Living at 110% capacity isn't faithfulness; it's foolishness. God wants you blessed so you can be a blessing, but you can't give what you don't have. Create space—in your budget, calendar, and soul—for God to work.

Reflection Question: Where do you need to create margin in your life this week?
