Digging Deeper Matthew 6:30-34

Matthew 6:30-34
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? Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

Points to Ponder:
We fret; we stew about what might happen. The "what-if" question races around our thoughts like a hamster running on his exercise wheel. This Scripture reminds us that we need to stay in today. Tomorrow is not promised. We would eliminate so much of our stress, anxiety and worry if we rest in knowing that our lives are in God's hands. Whatever comes, so does His grace. We can't borrow grace. We get it when we need it, not a moment before. God's grace is sufficient for our reality not our fantasy (those things we THINK MIGHT happen).

Oh, my friend, rest. Rest in knowing that HE IS ALL Sufficient. He IS Enough. He cares for you. Nothing has slipped by His notice. Nothing that has or will happen to you has caught Him by surprise. Nothing is beyond His redemptive power. Rest. Rest. Rest.

Blessings,
Diane
