Don't Worry

“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? (Matthew 6:24, NIV)

God takes care of us. Always. It may not seem like it sometimes, but He is there, 100% of the time to meet our needs.  He tells us not to worry about the little things of life because he will take care of them.

Have you ever been a spot where it was seemingly hopeless? Maybe you lost your job, or the bills are more than your income, or your house burnt down, or some other event happened to you when it seems like there is no hope.  Have hope. Have hope in the Lord and know that He is with you, even in your troubles and will make the means possible to take care of you.

Pray for relief and give thanks to the Lord for what he has given you. We live in a country that even our poorest families are considered rich to those in some countries.  We should be thankful for what we have and not worry about our life or the things we need for He will provide.

God, is the God of the universe, and if he knows each animal, and the count of each hair on your head, then we should trust that he will take care of us in the menial and simple things of life. If you don't feel that God is with you, He is. He may not answer your prayers right away but he does care for you enough to make sure you are taken care of.

He may not fill your fridge with food, but He provides food banks through churches. He may not give you a gift card for the mall to get clothes, but he provides those things through the church or other charities. Don't expect God to give you the world, but you can bet on it that you will be taken care of. 

This isn't regulated to just your physical and material needs, for you are more than what you eat or what you drink, or what you wear. You are His child and he will take care of you in a much more meaningful way: your soul and spirit. Jesus fills you with love and peace, in all situations, if you seek Him in those needs. 

If you are having hard times, or good times, Jesus is our Lord and will take care of our needs. Give thanks for what you have and pray for those things which you need.  Just the other day, our church didn't have enough money to pay their payroll and some bills. God took care of that. A member of the Church was moved to give a large amount of money and the prayer of the Church was answered: the check they recieved covered the bills and payroll to exactly what they needed plus a little more. This is proof that God takes care of us and the church family.

Have faith in the Lord, pray to Him always, and give thanks for what you have.
