It's
easy this time of year to get over extended and anxious about many things. Slow
down! Take a breath - enjoy a cup of coffee (or hot chocolate) and be reminded
of Jesus' promise in Matthew 6.
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.
When we don't trust in God to provide we end up running around and
worrying needlessly. You have what you have because of God's faithfulness not
by our own devices. Trust in Him who protects, provides, and guides. We just
need to be obedient.
Be wise and seek to always live life God's way. Amen?
