I recently got a new bird feeder at my house and it got me thinking about the passage of scripture.
āāTherefore I tell you: Donāt worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Isnāt life more than food and the body more than clothing? Consider the birds of the sky: They donāt sow or reap or gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Arenāt you worth more than they? Can any of you add one moment to his life span by worrying? And why do you worry about clothes? Observe how the wildflowers of the field grow: They donāt labor or spin thread. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was adorned like one of these. If thatās how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and thrown into the furnace tomorrow, wonāt he do much more for you ā you of little faith? So donāt worry, saying, āWhat will we eat? ā or āWhat will we drink? ā or āWhat will we wear? ā For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first the kingdom of God , and his righteousness, and all these things will be provided for you.ā
āāMatthew⬠ā6ā¬:ā25ā¬-ā33⬠āCSBā¬ā¬
Itās a verse everyone is aware of, but itās been sitting with me awhile now and i think itās one that is always good for us to refer back to.
Lifeās hard, things get messed up sometimes and we are often left wondering and worrying how we are going to get through.
If I look back at my life though, thereās never been a moment that God has let me go without. Did everything go as i pictured? No. But I can see His hand through everything & see exactly how He gave me just what I NEEDED, even if it wasnāt always what I wanted. And it shapes you in a way that our flesh could never understand.
I just wanted to encourage somebody today that God has you in the palm of His hand, and that YOU are more valuable to Him than the bird of the sky, or the flowers of the field. Set your eyes on Him. š©·
