Why Worry

Matthew 6:25-34 25 “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 than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 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? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? 28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 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—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. I love it when I read a passage of scripture, while I am facing a roadblock in my path that potentially I think could keep me from doing what God is calling me to, and that passage like the one above dismantles that roadblock. It's so easy to get our focus on all things around us instead of the one who can meet all of our needs. It's so easy to get our focus on the why, whats, when's and how's that we lose focus of the one who can answer all of our questions. It's so easy to forget that God never forgets and that He knows my needs really even before I do. Thank you God for the reminder this morning that you know all my needs, that you are in control and that I have nothing to worry about it in my life. I must learn to seek first your kingdom and your righteousness and as I do you have promised to meet all of my needs. May I rest in you today knowing full well that these verses are true and point me to the one who is all truth.
