Does it ever seem like your trying to juggle17 different things at the same time and you wonder why your life seems out of control? Could it possibly be due to the fact that we were never suppose to worry about those things in the first place.
Luke 12:22-30
22 Then Jesus said to his disciples: "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. 23 Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. 24 Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! 25 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? 26 Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?
27 “Consider how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 28 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith! 29 And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. 30 For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them.
Jesus says that there are things that are out of our control that we need to trust Him about. Think of what God does everyday. First He makes the sun come up, then He is right there beside you when you wake up (whenever that is), He goes through your day with you and is always wanting to be there for you. Before long, He sends the sun away and brings out the night sky. Then He waits for you to fall asleep and wake up, so He can be with you again. Our Jesus is the most amazing thing ever.
SO WHAT?
As you woke up today did you think that God was waiting for you? He was! He is waiting right now for you to spend time with Him. As you go through your day today be willing to take a few moments to stop and thank God for being with you. Remember that He is always taking care of the things that are out of your control.
