Read Matthew 6:22-34
Right away when someone tells you that you must serve God and not man. People start to worry. Ok so your telling me that God will supply all my needs. That if I make Him my first priority He will completely take care of me. Yep that’s right folks you got it. And just to make a point of it. Jesus gives us the next word picture found in verses 25-30. He gives to us two pictures one of a bird (sparrow) and one of a flower (lily). He says hey why worry about what you will eat and where you will sleep look at the sparrow and the lily do I not take care of them. Then He asks the most important question. Verse 26, "Are you not more important then they?" Answer, duh of course we are more important then the birds or flowers. What a comfort to know that you are important to God. You and I have great value to God. So much so that He sent His son to die for us. Don’t you think that if God is that concerned about our spiritual life, that He is just as concerned about our physical life? God will take care of you. God will supply all of your needs. The question is we willing to live for Him? Are we willing to say ok God I will strive to be godly? God is willing are you?
Father today help us to be willing. Help us not to worry about this life. Give us strength to see that you are in control and that you will give us strength to face each day.
