Matthew 6:25-34

25“So I tell you, don’t worry about the food you need to live. And don’t worry about the clothes you need for your body. Life is more important than food. And the body is more important than clothes. 26Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or save food in barns. But your heavenly Father feeds those birds. And you know that you are worth much more than the birds. 27You cannot add any time to your life by worrying about it.

28“And why do you worry about clothes? Look at the flowers in the field. See how they grow. They don’t work or make clothes for themselves. 29But I tell you that even Solomon, the great and rich king, was not dressed as beautifully as one of these flowers. 30God clothes the grass in the field like that. That grass is living today, but tomorrow it is thrown into the fire to be burned. So you know that God will clothe you much more. Don’t have so little faith!

31Don’t worry and say, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear?’ 32All the people that don’t know God try to get these things. Don’t worry, because your Father in heaven knows that you need these things. 33The thing you should want most is God’s kingdom and doing the good things God wants you to do. Then all these other things you need will be given to you. 34So don’t worry about tomorrow. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Tomorrow will have its own worries.

*This passage puts to rest a lot of the thoughts I have been having this week. This really just says it all and tells us exactly what we should be doing. And the one thing that we should not do is, WORRY!!

Have a good weekend!

If we could truly trust God the way we should I think we would be blessed beyond our imagination. Sometimes I think we are blessed more than we deserve. If we learn to LOVE & TRUST without fear of getting hurt then we've taken a major step to becoming a better christian.
