Blessings to you TODAY!
Jesus gives
his disciples (and us) six reasons for trusting in God rather than worrying….
Day Three…MATTHEW6:26 "Look at the birds…They
don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them.
And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are?”
Day Three…MATTHEW
Worry expends energy pointlessly—it DOES
NOT change the reality of the situation a single bit.
Anxiety does no good. Jesus highlights this
theme in Matthew 6:26, 34. Anxiety will not add even the smallest unit of time
to one's life. Not only is it true that we cannot extend our life by worrying,
but daily experience in our comparatively fast-paced culture confirms the
wisdom of an earlier Jewish sage, who observed that worry and a troubled heart actually
shorten life!
Unlike some ancient philosophers, Jesus never condemns people for
recognizing their basic needs; their Father knows they need food and clothing. Yet he
calls them to depend on God for their daily sustenance. Those who can trust
their heavenly Father to care for them need not be anxious concerning clothes
or food.
