Video of the Day: Clip from the 1995 movie “Apollo 13”
Bible Verse of the Day:
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus, Philippians 4:6-7.
Biblical Connection:
Today’s clip takes you behind the scenes of how daily challenges force groups of individuals to come together as a team. Rather than calling an emergency meeting held in a board room, Mission Command takes all the contents inside of Apollo 13 to make a square peg fit into a round hole. Every business, company and organization are forced to make similar quick decisions on the fly.
The apostle Paul addresses the stress that comes with facing adversity in life. Rather than succumb, folding to the pressure, Paul reminds Christians in Phillipi to turn to the Lord in prayer. Whenever anxiety begins to overwhelm your soul, place your trust in the Lord to find the answer that you need for your dilemma. This is where solutions to problems are conceived.
Closing Song:
As Americans remember our first moon landing today,life is full of obstacles which must be overcome. Part of success comes from problem solving on the fly. May you learn to fight through an anxious heart by leaning on the Lord in prayer.
