CHAPTER 8
Make Every Day Exceptional
Two friends were planning a daylong hiking trip. They were going to walk several miles across various types of terrain, then finish up where they began. The forecast was clear, and they had hiked this trail before. One friend carried a small pack containing water, snacks, and a few Band-Aids. The other friend carried a large, heavy backpack filled with a book on first aid, an entire first aid kit, warm clothes, a rain jacket, and an extra pair of shoes. As you might expect, the hiker with the heavy backpack had to stop on several occasions to relieve herself of the weight, only to have to pick the pack back up again in order to continue on.
God wants us to be prepared, but sometimes we carry around things that we don’t really need. The weather was beautiful, and the hiking trip was a relatively short one, yet the one hiker worried about all the little things that could happen, regardless of how improbable they were. She filled her backpack so full that it caused her to struggle and expend extra energy.
This is what worry does to us. It weighs us down and prevents us from enjoying the journey. Scripture says that worry cannot add an inch to your height or a single hour to your life (see Matt. 6:27). Have you ever considered all the things you worried over that never came to pass? Someone once said: “I’ve been through some terrible things in my life, some of which actually happened.”
God doesn’t want us to live that way. To become exceptional, you’ve got to travel light. Put aside the worries and walk forward into each day expecting miracles, finding joy, and believing in God’s provision.
