I am really tired. I don’t exercise the old prophetic gift often enough and did so about a half hour before I wrote this. I forgot how much it tires me out and I won’t be waking up until around noon, so let’s get this show on the road. Asap.
Today’s assignment: look at Matthew 6:32-34. For all the worriers, independence-lovers and over-thinkers, this is your verse.
“Your Heavenly Father already knows all your needs, and He will give you all you need from day to day if you live for Him and make the Kingdom of God your primary concern. So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.”
As Christians we believe in a God who knows everything. We say that’s He’s omniscient: that He knows all that has happened, is happening and will happen; and yet we try our utmost to control our situations.
Why, when He knows our needs?
God delights in you. I’m not going to count how many times it says that in the Bible, but it’s a regular term because it’s TRUE. It isn’t accidentally dropped into an epistle or something. Your Father really values, loves and cares for YOU. From that moment in the Garden of Eden we were created in His image, gifted with dominion and even after the Fall clothed by Him in our shame. Everything in between then and now also happens to be a pretty good indicator of His love for us. Why then would the God in control of all things, who knows all things allow for calamity to ensue?
“He WILL give you all you need from day to day”
He is awesome. He is love. And He is ours. Clothe yourself in the warmth of His love, exalted in the Word, empirically evident in our own lives.
God bless and keep you always x
