Have you ever worried about something even though you knew, God would work it out for your good? Do you struggle with worrying? God says not to worry, but I am guilty of this too!
What a view!
One day I was sitting in my living room, the window curtains were slightly open, and I can see the little birds nest in the corner of the ceiling of our patio.
A beautiful momma bird, just minding her own business, protecting her little young. I gazed for about half an hour. A bee flew by, and she used her magnificent little wing to shoo that bee away.
Do not worry!
As I continued to watch I couldn’t help but realize how relaxing this view was. For this moment I did not worry.
I remembered this verse:
Matthew 6:25 – “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?
Matthew 6:26 – “Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
Reminder!
As I meditated on this verse I had peace. I was reminded that God has, all things in His control. I knew the Matthew 6 verse, and I often referred to it. I sent it to a few friends even recently but God, was reminding me today not to worry that I was of more value than the birds of the air.
Trust Him!
We forget, so often, that we have a good, good Father and that He knows exactly what we need. We need only to trust Him, and Him alone. I am so thankful to God that He knows exactly what runs through our minds and if we pay attention, if we be still, we will hear Him more clearly. We will hear Him today.
Fix your eyes on Him!
My encouragement to you, is that you cling to God’s promises and especially to this verse. When you catch yourselves worrying, trust Him. Life is but a moment but eternity with Him is forever! Until He comes, fix your eyes on Him. You are of more value!
In Christ’s Love,
Mary
