I have studied the passage below and focused on the essentials of life and God’s provision of those. Today, as I study the life part, it is a bit different.
“25Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious 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 6:25 (ESV)
Jesus states here for us to not be anxious about our lives. I admit that it is not easy and I struggle with it every day.
Here are some of the questions that I ask each day as I struggle: Why me? Where am I going? What is next? How will we make it? Am I doing the right thing?
I know, all questions that, based on the Word of God, I should not concern myself with once I have accepted Christ as my Savior. But, as a human, it does not seem that easy. The world gets in my way and I tend to see that which is in front of me and forget that my ticket has already been punched for the greatest destination possible, HEAVEN.
We are bombarded each and every day with things to get us down, like, “You need more”, “You are not worthy”.
The truth is, when we have God, we have all we need, and should not worry about those other things as we continue to do his work and live the path he has set out for each of us.
Where are you today? Are you following the path God has laid out for you? Are you looking to Him for your guidance? Are you working to take out the worry about your life?
