August 10 - Worry

He continued this subject with his disciples. “Don’t fuss about what’s on the table at mealtimes or if the clothes in your closet are in fashion. There is far more to your inner life than the food you put in your stomach, more to your outer appearance than the clothes you hang on your body. Look at the ravens, free and unfettered, not tied down to a job description, carefree in the care of God. And you count far more
Luke 12:22-24 (The Message)

Thought for Today: One look outside my window is all it takes to see the wonder of God’s provision for nature.  The beautiful flowers of the field, the animals gathering food, the birds singing a wonderful song. All is held together by the Lord’s hand.  We worry about our own lives so much, whether it be health, finances or relationships.   In our humanness, we lose sight of the immensity of God’s love for us and how much He wants to be our Jehovah Jireh.  That we would just get out of the way and let Him provide! 

What worry is holding you down today?  The only way to be free is to be frail.  Stop trying to cure the worry and lay it before your God.  He will provide, trust Him in this.
