The Word of God for wisdom:
Proverbs 28:20 (NLT)
The trustworthy person will get a rich reward, but a person who wants quick riches will get into trouble.
The Word of God for inspiration:
Psalm 25:1-2 (ESV)
1 To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul. 2 O my God, in you I trust; let me not be put to shame; let not my enemies exult over me.
The Word of God for encouragement:
Matthew 6:31-34 (ESV)
31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. 34 "Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
My observation:
We take up today where we left off on Friday. Our Lord continues to teach his disciples about the kingdom principle of the disciples of Christ having faith in God. If we have constant anxiety in our life we need to examine our faith.
Matthew 6:30 (ESV)
But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
The surest and clearest path to living without anxiety is to put God first in our life, and to learn to trust in God to supply all of our needs. We can trust in God to meet all of our needs, all the time, and on time. That is how good and how generous my God is.
There is an old wise saying that says, "Today is the tomorrow we worried about yesterday". Being anxious about tomorrow won't change the outcome.
Matthew 6:34 (ESV)
"Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
My prayer:
Father God, my dear Father, I am so grateful that I have a God in whom I can trust in for today, and for all of my tomorrows. Father, I am so thankful that my creator knows about all of my needs, and that includes the material things that are necessary for life. Father God, if you find my faith to be defective, will you fix it so that I will learn to trust in you absolutely and always.
