Do not worry


Jesus speaks directly: He urged us to stop worrying about the basics that everyone worries about, because life isn't just about dressing well, eating well, or simply trying to have everything figured out. Today we live in a society that teaches us all this and that we always have too little and need more, to fill ourselves with meaningless things. But the Lord Jesus tells us the following: Isn't your life worth more than all that? Am I not enough to take care of you?

The Lord isn't saying we shouldn't work or plan; the idea here is that we shouldn't live excessively worried, trying to carry the load ourselves, because every time we place our security in fleeting things, we simply become anxious. But when we place all our trust in God, we have peace. It's not about having absolutely everything under control, but rather having complete security in knowing that we are in God's hands.

Today can be the day we decide to let go of that anxiety, let go of worry, and hold on tightly to God, for He knows everything we need long before we ask Him. Let us stop running after what God promised He would give us and try each day to live trusting in God's provision and care.

Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, or about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?

Matthew 6:25

God bless you today and always!
