Your Weekly Reset | Vol. 11
Hey friends,
This morning, I read this in Psalm 16: “I have set the Lord always before me; because He is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.”
And I ask myself what I’ve been setting before me. Because let’s just be real honest here – it’s been a few things other than the Lord, lately.
It’s the news. The finances. The clutter.
It’s the world, not the Holder of it.
I also read Elisabeth Elliot’s words this morning in regards to disciplining our mind.
“Christ calls us to do…what we cannot, and to be…what we are not. He is asking us to walk on water. Peter succeeded in doing that, but only for a few steps, only for those seconds when his gaze was locked on Christ’s, his mind set, as it were, on ‘things above.’ But when he looked around, he sank.”
When he looked around, he sank.
Well. That explains quite a lot for me, too.
I go back to Psalm 16 and keep reading.
“I have set the Lord always before me; because He is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken. THEREFORE, my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices; my flesh also dwells secure.”
Gladness. Joy. Security. These are the things we are promised when we set our minds on the Lord.
I’ve lived long enough to know that this doesn’t mean everything turns out the way I want it to.
But I’ve also lived long enough to know that God’s faithfulness remains true through any circumstance I face, and that’s enough for me to rejoice and rest.
I have set the Lord always before me; because He is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.
Perhaps in my 40’s, having a mind set on Christ is more important than “having a handle on things.” Maybe security looks different than a cushy bank account. Maybe peace is found in knowing the God who controls all things, instead of insisting on controlling them myself.
Scripture for your week:
I have set the Lord always before me; because He is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken. THEREFORE, my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices; my flesh also dwells secure.
– Psalm 16:8-9
Praying that we all can focus on the Lord this week, rather than all the troubles in the world around us. 💛
One thing that’s helping me stay on track right now is our Daily Habit Tracker. When I try to work on too many habits at once, I usually burn out or – honestly – even forget what I was trying to make a habit in the first place. This tracker keeps things simple and realistic for me!
Here’s how I’m using it:
- Choosing just a few habits to focus on for the month (and only ONE of those is a new habit!
- Tracking each habit daily so I can see patterns and progress
- Printing a fresh copy each month instead of trying to make one system last forever
This has helped me follow through on the habits that actually matter most to me, without feeling overwhelmed. If you’re craving consistency instead of constant restarting, this is such a practical tool – and it’s completely free! Grab a copy for yourself! ⬇️
🎧 What I’m Listening To → This playlist on repeat. 😍
🍽️ What I’m Using in the Kitchen → This cookbook! This has been a favorite of mine for a long time, but I’m trying to use my Instant Pot more and more, so I find myself pulling this cookbook out every other day or so! I love Lisa’s recipes – everything is so delicious!
🧺 Home Things Making Life Easier → This instead of my phone! I switched over to waking up with this alarm clock, so that I don’t have to sleep by my phone anymore, and I really love it! The best part? One of the settings sounds like birds chirping, and it’s my favorite thing to wake up to. 🤣
Hope your week is full of what matters most! 💛
