You of little faith!

Scripture24 “ No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and   wealth. 25 “ For this reason I say to you,  do not be  worried about your  life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 “ Look at the birds of the  air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they? 27 “And who of you by being  worried can  add a single  hour to his  life? 28 “And why are you  worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, 29 yet I say to you that not even  Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. 30 “But if God so clothes the  grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you?  You of little faith! 31 “Do not  worry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’ 32 “For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for  your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 “But  seek first  His kingdom and His righteousness, and  all these things will be  added to you. 34 “So do not  worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will  care for itself.  Each day has enough trouble of its own.”

Matthew 6:24-34

    We do, as Christians, trust God for our salvation, and then, it seems to end there.

    When it comes to needs and finances, WE take the reins, play God, and are worse off for not trusting Him.

    What is wrong with us, don’t we know that we are limited and God is not?

    Time to trust Him.

    Dora,
    So true! When you think about it, our Lord tells us time and time again to be anxious for nothing – to trust Him for everything. Because of our sinful natures this concept seems impossible but by His grace He opens our eyes to His glory and we truly can be like little children and run to Him and trust Him for all things. We trust our souls to Him so everything else should be given to Him as well.

    In Hebrews we read the amazing words that “He upholds all things by the word of His power”. (Hebrews 1:3) That means all things including gravity, the very beat of my heart and every breath I take. He is sovereign and in control of all things and therefore let us trust completely in Him for all things – just as He tells us in this glorious verse above.

    Thanks for sharing on the site!

    Soli Deo Gloria!
