So I woke up this morning apprehensive and filled with worry. I mean serious worry over different things. Life, job, finances, career, family, tomorrows etc. So much so I could literally feel my bp rising (I doubt that though); nonetheless I was worried. Funny I wasn't scared per se, just worried and unsure about everything. It just occurred to me or maybe I was reminded about submitting it all to God & particularly the role of faith. Then Matthew 6 came to mind - the part about worrying not about tomorrow, each day has enough problems of its own, the birds do not sow or reap yet are well fed.
I picked the Bible and turned to the verses in Matt 6. From 25 - 34.
Bible: "Th4 I tell u, dont worry abt ur life, what u'l eat or drink; or abt ur body, what u'l wear. Isnt life more than food, n d body more than clothes?
Me: yes
Bible: Look @ d birds of the air; they dont sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet YOUR heavenly Father feeds them. Rnt u of much more valuable than they?
Me: hmm yes I am
Bible: Can anyone of u by worrying add a single hour to ur life?
Me: #now very sobber n feeling like someone being tongue lashed# no, I cant
Bible: And why do u worry abt clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They dnt labor or spin. Yet I tell u that nt evn Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe u - u of little faith?
Me: hmm here today, 2mrw isnt. Yeah I guess He wld.
Bible: So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’
Me:... #these were my thought exactly
Bible: For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to u as well.
Me: ...
Bible:Therefore dont worry abt tomorrow, 4 tomorrow will worry abt itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Me:... So all I need do is just believe in God, have faith and I'ld be fine. Cool 😎
