I actually was able
to attend the 9:00 service today. I was so excited. I have missed
it so much. I have been teaching the 2s and 3s Sunday school class
at 9:00, so I have not been able to attend that service. I love that
service! With all the new journey groups starting at 10:30, I am now
teaching at 10:30. Even though it saddens me because I will miss
those kids, I am looking forward to attending the 9:00 service every
week. Plus, I get to meet some new kids.
Today's bible verse
was Matthew 6:25-34
So I tell you, don't
worry about everyday life--whether you have enough food, drink and
clothes. Doesn't life consist of more than food or clothing? Look
at the birds. They don't need to plant or harvest or put food in
barns because your heavenly father feeds them. And you are far more
valuable to him than they are. Can all your worries add a single
moment to your life? Of course not.
And why worry about
your clothes? Look at the lilies and how they grow. They don't work
or make their clothing. Why be like the pagans who are so deeply
concerned about those things? Your heavenly Father already knows all
your needs and he will give you all you need from day to day if you
live for Him and make the Kingdom of God your primary concern.
So don't worry about
tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble
is enough for today.
This passage was so
perfect for me today. I have been worrying a lot lately. Even
though I love this passage and I know how true it is, the human part
of me still allows me to worry. I worry about finances, my kids, my
health, my business, my families health, our country...I could go on
and on. In fact, if you would like me to worry about something for
you, just let me know, and I will :)
God is so awesome!
He has always taken care of my needs, and He always will. So why do
I worry? I do know that I worry much more when I drift away from Him
and I am not making "The Kingdom of God" my primary
purpose. When I do make it my purpose, everything else has a way of
falling into place. There are still struggles and always will be
struggles. It is how we handle those struggles and worries that make
all the difference in our lives.
Thank you Lord for
once again reminding me that you are in control and that you will
take care of all our needs. I love you!
I am so glad you wrote about today's message since I wasn't able to hear it today. . .
