If you are like me, your mind is always going and thinking in about ten to twenty different directions from what are you fixing for dinner tonight to what are the plans for next weekend?
Keeping schedules. That's what our lives have come to. Think about this with me for a minute. Almost everything we do is based on a schedule. Our work week is Monday through Friday, our meals are breakfast, lunch and dinner. We plan for fellowship with our friends and family, as well as Holidays. Do you suppose it's always been this way? Me, I'm not so sure about that.
There are days, I long to not have to check my email, my phone and NOT sign into Facebook. So, why do I do it? Part of it is my job, not Facebook of course... but everything has a time that must be done. There are days... okay most days... I WORRY about getting things done or being where I need to be and getting things accomplished. I WORRY about tomorrow.... and what if?
Now, if you know my husband, you know he rarely worries about such things. Droop tends to worry more about the weather and whether he can ride, rather than the necessities of life. His philosophy is ... God is in control... and He has and will continue to meet our needs! Not our wants. If you know me, you know I'm the opposite, and I worry about ALOT of things!
This morning in my bible study I cam across these verses in Matthew 6: 25-27... and they really struck home with me.
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? Look 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? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
That's laying it all out there now isn't it? It's not important what I wear, what or when I will eat or drink or what I look like.... to GOD anyway. He wants my heart and soul to be healthy. The only way that can happen is to depend on HIM. Trust Him with my days, my hours, my minutes. If God supplies the necessities for the smallest of his creation, the animals, why wouldn't He provide for me? He will... I have to allow Him to.
And my God shall supply all my needs, according to His riches in glory. Phillipians 4:19
Are ya with me.... let's lay those burdens and worries down! Don't worry... be HaPpY!
