Sometimes when you are in ministry, it is easy to get caught up in worry. We worry about trips, and the spiritual condition of our sheep, and whether or not we are making people happy or even making a difference. When really, the only one we should be striving to make happy is our heavenly Father. I was praying today about some of the worries on our hearts lately and God brought these verses to my mind and heart. I wanted to share them with you.
Matthew 6:31-34 says,
"So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 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 you as well. Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
I love these verses. How many times has the Lord provided for us? More than I count, and yet, we still worry. So my motto for today is "Don't worry, be happy.....because God loves us and knows exactly what we need."
