Matthew 6 gives us the Lord’s Prayer, and it also gives us this…
Matthew 6:25-27, “Therefore I say to you, do not worry 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? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?”
There are so many things in this life that can make us anxious. Many are very legitimate reasons for concern. I love that this verse says, “Which of you can add a cubit to his stature [by worrying]?” Well, if worrying made you taller, I certainly wouldn’t be 5’3″. That’s a fact!
I have learned in life that many of the things I was deeply concerned about never came to fruition. What about this? And what if that? Just never happened. Worry and anxiety are always something I strive to overcome…and some days I actually win the battle.
What a great reminder for all of us!
1 Peter 5:7, “casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.”
Don’t worry! If he is watching over the birds of the field today…he is certainly watching over you! Today let’s put aside worry and anxiety and enjoy the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
Happy Wednesday Friends!
