VERSE OF THE DAY: MATTHEW 6:25 That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life-whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn't life more than food, and your body more than clothing?
DON'T OVERTHINK IT
How much time do you spend thinking about what to eat, or worrying about what to wear? Do you obsess over having—or being—enough?
While there’s nothing wrong with meal planning for the weeks ahead or creating a monthly budget, Jesus explains that worrying doesn’t help:
“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 than food, and the body more than clothes?” Matthew 6:25 NIV
Jesus never said not to think about your basic needs—He said not to worry about them.
God knows what you need before you do. God knows your prayers before you pray them.
Recognizing your physical needs can remind you of your spiritual needs—an invitation to trust your ultimate Provider.
Later in the same chapter, Jesus reminds His disciples that if God provides for the birds and the flowers, He will provide for His people that much more. Then He adds, “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” (Matthew 6:33)
Life is more than the food we eat, the drinks we consume, and the clothes we wear. In fact, Jesus is life. He is “the way, the truth, and the life,” to be exact. (John 14:6)
So, let’s seek Him first. Let’s do the work entrusted to us while trusting in Him for provision. And let’s not waste another second overthinking it.
BE ENCOURAGED Recognized your physical needs can remind you of your spiritual needs-an invitation to trust your Provider.
SHARE YOUR FAITH Today, initiate a conversation about faith. it can be as simple as asking: What are you trusting God for this week?
God, You already know what I need-and even what I want. And even though life isn't perfect, I believe that You are enough for me. Your provision is enough for me. Your love is enough for me. Your grace is enough for me. So today, I surrender my worries to You. Help me to remember that You are to work in the details. In Jesus' name, Amen.
