Have you ever had so many things on your mind you thought you might go crazy? We tend to worry a lot, don't we. I've mentioned before how it would be so nice if we could just see a peek in to the future - or see around corners, so to speak. I find myself at times wondering if everything will really work out ok. It's in those times I have to remind myself just how big God really is.
I'm a very visual person. I have to see something, to really grasp it. So, many times when I am at the coast and just watching the ocean, I am amazed by how big it is. I begin to think about how it is only one ocean out of many in the world. Then I think of how God not only created what I am looking at in front of me, but every thing around me. I feel so small.
How could someone so big be concerned with someone so small? I think about my children, when they were babies, their entire hand would wrap around one of my fingers. And though they were so small, I'd give my life for any of them. Guess who we learned that from?
Matt 6:25-31
25 "Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, 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, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
28 "So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; 29 and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
31 "Therefore do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
Like I said in the beginning, their are times when I find myself worrying. But one thing that helps, is remembering what He has already brought me through. When we put Him first, He will always make a way, where there doesn't seem to be one.
WE SERVE A BIG GOD!!!
