Don't Worry

Don’t worry

“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 labor or spin.  
Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.  
If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow 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 tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” 
                         Matthew 6:25-34.
Here in Matthew 6:25-34 Jesus gives us some sound advise about worry. He basically is saying that we shouldn’t worry.
That we should put our trust in God for the things we need.
Paul states,
“And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19.
God knows what we can handle and what we need.
Back about twenty years or more ago now I was commuting over a hundred kilometers one way to work.
We were always short of money, but we never missed a meal.
On one occasion I needed some money for gasoline for my truck to get me to work where I could get my paycheck.
I didn’t know how I was going to get it. It was Sunday morning and I had to be at work for eleven o clock that night. All we could do was trust in the Lord.
At church one of the secretaries said “someone left this envelope for you.” she didn’t say who it was but in it was twenty dollars. More than enough to buy the fuel I needed for the round trip.
God had provided.
Such things are common place in our lives. God does truly provide what we need.
He does so for all believers who trust in him.
The important thing is to trust Him.
Think about it.
