“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? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?” |
—Matthew 6:25-27 |
We “Christ’s-ones” live our lives in His care. God has promised to care for us in spectacular ways—well beyond our ability to comprehend or imagine.
That is not a promise for an easy life, nor for one free of problems. We are, after all, still trapped in these sin-stained bodies and are subject to all manner of disease and difficulty. But, whenever we face trouble in our lives, we do not do so alone. God is with us. God will take what Satan may intend for evil and turn it into something that will bring glory to God’s matchless name.
Here are Jesus’ own words on this subject, as recorded in Matthew 6:25-27:
“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? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?”
As we begin this new day, let’s do so with full awareness that God is caring for us every moment of our lives. We are free from having to fend for ourselves. He will give us whatever we need to face the trials of each day.
