Matthew 6:25-34
Inspired thots:
1) Thank you Lord that I now do not ‘worry’ about clothes or food so much; but it is more of ‘caring’ what to wear or eat, though I have not bought anything new for some time since I left work.
2) (V26) I love your word of truth, promise and assurance… that I am MORE valuable than the birds of the air or the lilies of the field. It brings a smile to my face and peace in my heart, that I am good with You, Lord.
3) My life on earth is brief… just like the grass of the field, and anybody else. There is no exception. Once again, the ram caught in the bushes in Gen 22:13. How would I choose to make my life count?
4) My God is all-knowing… He knows my EVERY need… and want. He provides as is His name ~ Jehovah Jireh. But what would I give HIM? He reveals His heart’s desire in verse 33… Just ‘seek first His kingdom and His righteousness” Again… righteousness… from chp5 till now… it rings so loudly… to me, at least. And as a recap, righteousness, the heartbeat of God’s character, invites persecution…yeah… ok…
5) But what great assurance…”and all these things will be given to you as well”. .King Solomon… he asked humbly for wisdom, and God declared “and all these things will be given to you as well…” 1 Kings 3:6-13
