Do Not Worry About Your Life
This verse says not to worry about what you will eat, what you will drink, or what you will wear. For many of us these are not daily concerns, we have running water in our house, a pantry with food, and a closet full of clothes that we can be thankful for. Even so, this verse is important for everyone to hear because what it’s telling us is that our needs will be met. God knows what we need and he always provides for us. This verse tells us to look at the birds, they are fed even though they don’t have a pantry to stock or a Walmart to shop at. He says “Are you not much more valuable than they?” Won’t God give you so much more if you just trust him? Whenever we find ourselves worrying over if our needs will be met or if God will take care of us, let’s walk outside or look out a window and try to find a bird. You’ll notice he doesn’t seem to be fretting over tomorrows trouble, so we’re reminded to take it one day at a time, knowing God will provide for us and take care of us. All we have to do is trust Him.
Prayer:
Thank you Lord for being a steadfast provider for us. Thank you for all of your blessings. Please strengthen our faith and take away any and all doubt. Thank you for your perfect timing, God. Thank you for your mercy and grace. Thank you for your never-ending love. Please give us peace and joy while we wait for you to fulfill your word at the perfect time, in Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
Scripture:
“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink;or about your body what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?” Matthew 6:25-26
