Worry... Why do we worry so much?
Matthew 6:25-32.. Summary : STOP WORRYING ABOUT WORDLY THINGS!.
It's so easy to sit worrying about what we don't have. Worrying for things we see in our humaniness as needs, when in fact they are so small compared to what God has for us if we just release, and let him pour his blessings on us. Sure it may not be the money we need for the bill which is overdue, or it may not be the clothes our kids need to start school. See God's Will is greater then our NEEDS! he supplys our needs if we just sit back, and really look at what has been given.
Keith and I have been doing the normal 1st year of moving with the military finacial struggling. Trying to get a house up for sale in Hawaii, while paying for our house here in VA. also. So things are tight, so tight we fall behind on bills and struggle with how we will get more coffee. =) hahaha.. See God has provided for us, we have a roof, we have meals, we have clothes on our backs and we have the most important thing coffee still, HA KIDDING the Love of God and love for each other. We could live on the streets, and I know in my heart we would still be happy because of the love of Christ and our love for each other.
I could look at our finacial struggles, and begin to get upset because we are faithful to him so why hasn't he poured open his money train and supplied us with abundance of money. =). That's not how it works, he never said he would spoil us with money and things if we were faithful to him. He promised he would open his flood gates of blessings, Blessings can be the love of our family, the safety of each member, the physical wellness of each member. Money means nothing when it comes to God's will, God wants us to praise him in good and bad times. He wants to hear our praises when we wake and when we end our day. He wants us to see his wonderful big things he has blessed us with, that we see as little so little we don't take the time to see them.
The patient bill collector who understands, and is willing to accept smaller payments. The child who wakes up early, and decideds to talk too you through all of your devotion alone time. Seeing God's BIG blessings which are given to us, enjoying each part of that blessing. Not worrying about what we don't have, but looking at the blessings of what we do have. GOD and eachother.
Matthew 6: 34 therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble. I will go to Womens retreat if I am blessed with that, if not I will be blessed with more time with my family. A win win situation.
