Mat 5:2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them,
saying…
Mat 6:25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for
your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body,
what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than
raiment?
How is it possible
for us to take no thought for our lives when in truth isn't that mostly all we
think about, our lives? How can we help but think of our lives? Our Savior
doesn't want us to be overcome with the TEMPORARY to ETERNITY parts of our
lives to the exclusion HIS will, loving others.
When He said take no
thought for our lives He included the following-
Don't worry about
what you're going to eat.
Don't worry about
what you're going to drink.
Don't worry about
what you're going to wear.
Life is MORE than
eating and our bodies are mean more than what we are wearing.
Jesus KNEW the
serious temptation that people fall into concerning food, drink, and clothing.
He knew the DANGERS of us obsessing over those parts of our lives. And we DO obsess over these things. We obsess
over so incredibly much that we should never obsess over.
If our Father in
heaven wants us to eat, drink, and wear clothes HE will provide a way for these
things. That isn't to say we are to just sit about and wait for the stuff to
fall out of the sky. In providing us these things He provides a way for us to
get these things that won't have us obsessing, or sinning in any way.
He will provide the
means.
He tells us NOT to
WORRY. We spend so much time
WORRYING.
The thing is, that
old bottom line will forever read that whether you worry or not the situation
remains the same, worrying will NOT change the situation. We have an
opportunity towards FAITH that we squander on worry. I'm so guilty of this, so incredibly guilty,
Lord God please forgive me for wasting so many opportunities to trust You with
my endless, my countless hours spent worrying - thinking about my life.
Please LORD help me
to recognize the worry when it first creeps in and seek YOU in prayer, coming
to YOU knowing YOU will provide whatever I truly need to fulfill YOUR will for
me whatever that may be. Please LORD teach ME! Help me to LEARN LORD!
All through YOU, all
through YOUR amazing LOVE!
