A reminder for
today
Therefore do not worry
or be anxious (perpetually
uneasy, distracted), saying, ‘What are we going to eat?’ or ‘What are we going
to drink?’ or ‘What are we going to wear?’ For the [pagan]
Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; [but do not worry,] for your heavenly
Father knows that you need them. But first and most importantly seek (aim at,
strive after) His kingdom and His righteousness [His way of doing and being
right—the attitude and character of God], and all these things will be given to
you also. (Matthew
6:31-33)
I wrote to you about our worries and concerns at this time
with our company that does not really seem to care much about their employees.
It reminded me of this verse. You see we all worry. We do not have enough money
and we struggle with debt and rising prices. Our salaries do not rise with same
rate as grocery prices and medical expenses. This year we had quote a few
challenges and I guess I came to a point where I do not know what to do. So, I did
what Jesus told me to do. I took my worries to my God and I laid it at His feet.
I took my troubles to Him, but I did not expect or asked for anything other
than to leave my worries with Him.
I focussed on changing me so that I can seek Him and His
will and His kingdom. I desire to do what He wants me to do and all asked is
that He blesses our finances. I know we do not have much but there are things
happening and I can see the Lord is at work. I can see His hand and I can see how
He is leading me to a new direction in my journey.
I am still not sure what will happen, but I know that my
heavenly Father knows what I need and that He will show me the way and He will
make my current challenges look small in days to come. I must just continue to
seek Him and do His will.
I am nothing without my God who looks so well after me. I have
seen Him change my circumstances so many times before, but this time I can feel
He will be glorified like I have not seen before. He is my God and I live for
Him.
Lord, thank you for all the amazing things you do for us. I am
so in awe of all you do for us. Lord you are my all and in you I am stronger
and better. I know you will be with me through my challenges and I know that I have
nothing to fear. In Jesus name.
Have an awesome day, dear friend of Jesus.
Cheers
