Day 176 and Do not Worry

One of my recent morning devotionals talked about not worrying and used one of my favorite passages from the Bible, Matthew 6:25-34. My favorite is verse 34, each day has enough worry of its own. Isn't that the truth? Anyone who knows me well will tell you that I am a worrier, I can't seem to help it. I'm much better than I used to be, I used to lie awake at night worrying about everything, and I mean everything. I have got past that, but I still worry. I think I'm going to print out this passage from the Bible to remind me constantly that God has my back. Have a blessed week, everyone!

25"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

28"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
