AS FAR BACK AS I CAN REMEMBER, I DO NOT RECALL EVER WORRYING ABOUT ANYTHING. I HAVE ALWAYS LOOKED AT THE BRIGHT SIDE OF A SITUATION AND HAVE ENCOURAGED OTHERS TO DO THE SAME AS WELL. I DIDNT WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING....NOT THE GOOD...NOT THE BAD...NOT THE UGLY. I JUST BREEZED THROUGH LIFE WITHOUT A CARE IN THE WORLD. PEOPLE WHO KNOW ME KNOW THIS TO BE TRUE. WHEN I THINK ABOUT IT TODAY, I REALIZE THAT GOD BLESSED ME WITH THIS TRAIT EVEN BEFORE I TURNED MY LIFE OVER TO HIS CARE AND UNDERSTANDING. I OFTEN MADE A POINT OF SAYING " OH YE OF LITTLE FAITH" TO PEOPLE. I KNEW IT CAME FROM THE BIBLE, BUT I HAD NO IDEA WHERE THE SCRIPTURE COULD BE FOUND.
IN THIS WORLD TODAY, PEOPLE ARE UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THEY HAVE SO MUCH TO WORRY ABOUT. EARTHQUAKES, NUCLEAR CATASTROPHIES, DISEASE, GAS PRICES, FOOD SHORTAGES. THE LIST GOES ON AND ON. SOME PEOPLE ARE NOT HAPPY UNLESS THEY HAVE SOMETHING TO WORRY ABOUT. I AM SO THANKFUL THIS MORNING FOR THE WORDS OUR FATHER GIFTED US WITH IN MATTHEW 6:25-34.
IN THOSE SCRIPTURES, OUR GOD TELLS US "DO NOT WORRY ABOUT YOUR LIFE, WHAT YOU WILL EAT, WHAT YOU WILL DRINK, OR WHAT CLOTHES YOU WILL WEAR." HE REMINDS US TO "LOOK AT THE BIRDS OF THE AIR, THEY DO NOT SOW NOR REAP, NOR GATHER INTO BARNS; YET YOUR FATHER FEEDS THEM. ARE YOU NOT OF MORE VALUE THAN THEY?" "IF GOD SO CLOTHES THE GRASS OF THE FIELD, WILL HE NOT MUCH MORE CLOTHE YOU?" "OH YE OF LITTLE FAITH!" "THEREFORE, DO NOT WORRY."
WOW, JUST READING THOSE WORDS BRINGS A SENSE OF COMFORT. MY DAD HAS BIRD HOUSES IN THE BACK YARD. MARTIN HOUSES TO BE EXACT. YEAR AFTER YEAR, THOSE BIRDS RETURN TO THEIR TRUSTED HOUSES. IN FACT, SOME ARE OUT THERE RIGHT NOW. WE HAVE COME TO EXPECT THOSE BIRDS. MY DAD DOESNT PUT OUT FOOD. THERE IS NO SIGN TELLING THE MARTINS THAT WE HAVE A HOUSE FOR THEM. THEY ARE NOT EVEN EQUIPPED WITH A GPS. NOW, YOU TELL ME, HOW IS IT THAT WE SHOULD WORRY ABOUT OUR LIVES?
GOD ASSURES US THAT OUR DEEPEST NEEDS WILL BE MET. HE GIVES US COMFORT. HE REASSURES US IN EVERY WAY. HIS WORD WILL NEVER LIE!
IN THE SCRIPTURES OF MATTHEW 6, HE LETS US KNOW HOW VALUABLE WE ARE TO HIM. HE ALSO GIVES US INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO ELIMINATE WORRY IN OUR LIVES. HE TELLS US WHAT IT IS THAT WE MUST DO. HE SIMPLY TELLS US TO "SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS AND ALL THESE THINGS SHALL BE ADDED TO YOU." HE SAYS, "THEREFORE, DO NOT WORRY ABOUT TOMORROW, FOR TOMORROW WILL WORRY ABOUT ITS OWN THINGS."
I WAS NEVER GOOD WITH WORD PROBLEMS. I HAD A HARD TIME GRASPING THE CONCEPTS THEY PRESENTED. BUT, THE WORDS OF MATTHEW 6 MAKE PERFECT SENSE TO ME. IT ALL BOILS DOWN TO TRUST, FAITH AND BELIEF IN HIS LOVE. HE SAID HE WILL NEVER LEAVE US NOR FORSAKE US. I AM CONTENT TO LET TOMORROW WORRY ABOUT ITS OWN SELF. I HAVE FAITH IN THE WORD OF MY GOD! HE HAS TRULY BLESSED ME!
IF HE DID IT FOR ME, HE CAN AND HE WILL SURELY DO IT FOR YOU!
