Hello Fellow Christians in Jesus’ Name,
Like a loved child trusting in their daddy’s provision and security, God wants us to live like His child. He wants to shield us from all anxious thoughts. In fact, as we walk with Him, He’s taking us to the most wonderful place in the universe, that place where we’ll trust Him with all our heart – Yes, it’s a real place and He can take us there…
25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? (Annie used to say, “Well, it’s a good thing we worried over that” meaning that all of our worry never got us anywhere.)
28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: (God’s making us into lilies. He’s bringing each of us to the place of peace, rest and joy as we learn that He’s trustworthy.)
29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and (as a result) all these things shall be added unto you.
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
Matthew 6:25-34
Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus (doing so puts out the fire of anxious thoughts as we focus on our Prince of Peace), just to take Him at His Word…
Lyric By Louisa Stead
The more you trust Jesus and keep your eyes focused on Him, the more life you’ll have. Trusting God brings life. Believing brings rest. So stop trying to figure everything out and let God be God in your life.
Joyce Meyer
God really wants us to trust Him for all the right reasons. That’s why He commands us to be “careful” for nothing (Philippians 4:6-7). If a thought causes you care, remember that Jesus will never leave you nor forsake you, that He already knows the future, He’s in control and is working (He’s always working on your behalf to bring you victory out of every circumstance) all things together for your good (That’s how powerful God is).
God bless,
Mark
