I will make a fresh start with Israel.
He’ll burst into bloom like a crocus in the spring.
MATTHEW 6:31-32 (NLT)
So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs.
THE ESSENCE
God is lifegiving so don’t worry.
DAILY FODDER
Once we realize that God already knows what we need, what should be our response?
PRAYER
Thank you, Loving God, for taking care of all I truly need. Forgive me for worrying about how I'm going to make ends meet. So much of my energy goes into worry. Free me from my anxiety as you bolster my ability to trust you. I'm going to allow your generosity to dominate my thinking. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
