tomorrow's worries "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 important than food, and the body more important 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? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? 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 spelndor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomrorow 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 that 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 tomororw wil worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." - Matthew 6:25-34 I especially love these verses from Matthew. I always imagine the lilies in the fields and how they sway in the wind, and then thinking about how beautiful they may look. And then I look at myself and my life and think of it in comparison, and I'm amazed at how differently I look at my circumstances and myself because if the lilies are beautiful, these verses remind me that my life is so much more than beautiful because I trust in the Lord. So whatever your "tomorrow's worries" are, or even today's or yesterday's, I say, pull out your muscles of faith (if you have 45 mins to spare, go here or here) and trust God to settle each and every little thing that you ask of him by looking first to Him. |
