"And
why do you worry about
clothes? See how the
lilies of the field
grow. They do not labour
or spin. Yet I tell
you that not even Solomon
in all his splendor
was dressed like one
of theses. If that is
how God clothes the
grass of the field,
which is here today
and tomorrow is thrown
into the fire, will
He not much more clothe
you, O you of little
faith?
So
do not worry, saying,
'What shall we eat?'
or 'What shall we drink?'
or 'What shall we wear?'.
For the pagans run after
all these things, and
Your Heavenly Father
knows you need them.
But seek first His Kingdom
and His righteousness,
and all these things
will be given to you
as well. Therefore,
do not worry about tomorrow,
for tomorrow will worry
about itself. Each day
has enough trouble of
its own."
(Matthew 6:28-34)
WORTHLESS
WORRY
I
had been worrying about
a problem for days concerning
my family. On the day
that a decision was
required, while I was
showering, God planted
the solution into my
mind that was so simple
and effective I couldn't
help but marvel about
God's goodness, provision,
ingenuity, and caring.
It helped me realize
that worry was a sin
because it testified
of not trusting the
all knowing, Sovereign
God. God had revealed
His plan for my problem
that He had prepared
since the beginning
of the world. I just
need to commit it to
Him in prayer and not
take the problem back.
It takes practice but
being in the Word and
in prayer every day,
and you are delving
into the mind and heart
of God whose ways are
perfect and who always
works thing out for
the good of those who
believe in Him.
Rejoice
in the Lord Always!
