"Do not be anxious then, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'With what shall we clothe ourselves?' "For all these things the Gentiles eagerly seek; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. "But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you. "Therefore do not be anxious for tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Matthew 6:31-34
Why do you worry so? Anxiety will not add anything to the situation. "And which of you by being anxious can add a single cubit to his life's span? (Matthew 6:27) Our bodies were not meant for stress and that is why we can make ourselves sick by it. The Lord reassures us that His love is enough. That He cares for us and all He wants is for us to place all of our trust in Him. By doing so we will strengthen in our faith. Hope is all we need. God did not send His only Son to die on the cross if He was not going to care for us and make a difference in this world. Through His death, burial and Resurrection, we get to live. His death has given us the freedom to overcome all things through Him. His Word must empower us, lift us, and encourage us. Our circumstances will only remind us of this world and our troubles in it. Therefore we are not to be afraid but instead we are told, "When I am afraid, I will put my trust in Thee." (Psalm 56:3) So today just take refuge in Him and rest in His love.
