Today’s Insight in the Word-
Matthew 6 – Many times we go through life worrying about every little thing until it drives us crazy. The world is filled with things to worry about, but what does the Lord say? In Vs 25 it says, “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?” I love this verse because Jesus says not to worry about a thing. Basically he says be happy and know that He is going to provide for you.
He even goes a step further to tell us in Vs 26, 27 to “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? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?”
What a glorious Savior and Provider! God says He will take care of us no matter WHAT comes our way. It is good to know that we are in His hands. God is faithful to His word, unlike us at times. Allow the Lord to take your stress away and bless you!
Walking in the Word – I know in my life I have worried a lot before. I find that it is easier and easier to allow God to take control, rather than for me to. God has always provided for me and has shown me that I only need to worry about pleasing Him and sharing with others about what He has done in my life. Today I remind myself of WHO I am and WHOSE I am. I rest assured tonight that the Lord has me in His hands and it is there that I find peace. Amen!
Prayer Response to the Word – Father God, I am grateful that You have me in Your hands. Thank You for all that You provide for me. I know I dwell in Your shadow where I never lack anything and I am comforted. I pray when the enemy tries to worry me with things of the world, that You remind me that I am more than the birds of the sky. You feed them and shelter them and not even one falls from the sky without You knowing. I ask that I may keep that fact on the tablets of my heart. I can rest knowing that You care for me as well as Your other children. I praise You Lord, and I lift Your name on high. Who is like You? Thank you! In the name of Christ Jesus, Amen and Amen!
