“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?” Matthew 6:25 NKJV
Wisdom
Life sometimes is stressful. Things come up and we start to worry and fret. But Jesus tells us not to worry. He will always be there for us. Our heavenly Father knows the things that we need in life. He granted us the power of prayer, where we can communicate with him, and confess all things that we go through.
Everything we feel and go through He knows. He tells us why to worry? Worrying will not add 1 cubit to our stature. Worrying profits nothing. Sufficient for the day is its trouble. Don’t worry about tomorrow or next week or next month. Live life day by day, for tomorrow is promised to no one. Life is more than food, clothing, shelter, health, wealth, and strength.
Jesus is our provider, he is our strength, he is our stronghold, and he provides us with good health. If he takes care of ravens and flowers in the valley how much more will he take care of his people? These things of the world are passing away.
Wisdom continue
One day we are up, the next day we are down. One day we have and another day we do not. It’s a part of life but Jesus is with us through it all. Christ never promised that life would be easy and he never said following Him would be easy. He told us it is a narrow path, difficult is the way that leads to life. Many are called, few chosen.
With Christ we can do all things with God with us. Immanuel. Put all your stress, fear, and worries upon the Lord. Put it all in his hands. He has provided us with his comforter, the Holy Spirit. Walk-in his spirit and you will feel his peace which surpasses all understanding.
He is the Prince of peace. Nothing else matters in this world but Jesus. He is the Savior. Only what we do for Him will last. Life is vanity because we are all going to die one day. Naked we came and naked we shall return. Don’t worry, be happy and rejoice in the Lord always.
