Matthew 24:35 – Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. (NIV)

"My head is full of broken bottles" is an old Glaswegian saying from Scotland that I sometimes experience and express. To me, it means that I can't really concentrate on what I need to do and that my focus is all out of whack. It usually occurs after a bad night's sleep or a stressful time. My mind can't fix on anything, and I'm relatively unproductive until it passes.

When I go through those moments, Bible verses like the one for today reassure me that Christ is in control and that no matter what happens, His words will endure. The older I get, the wiser Jesus becomes. When I am weak, He is strong. When my mind is scattered, He is mindful of me.

Perhaps you're feeling something similar today and don't know what to do about it. Maybe the solution is that sometimes, we don't have to do anything — we just have to allow ourselves to be embraced by Christ and depend on His promises.

Points to ponder: How am I feeling today? Am I letting Christ hold on to me?

Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are there for us in so many different and reliable ways. You know our needs before we ask; You understand our feelings before we express them. Thank You for always being near to us. In Your holy name, we gratefully pray. Amen.
