Why are you so worried...?

Luke 12:22-23, 25, 28 NKJV

Then He said to His disciples, “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; nor about the body, what you will put on.  Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.  And which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?  If then God so clothes the grass, which today is in the field and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith?

Shalom! Day #315.  Do you know that you are more precious than anything that the Lord our God has created? Let's pray. Father, we want to thank You for You have fearfully and wonderfully made us. We thank You for You have crafted our future in the palms of Your hands. Your words is our blessed assurance and hope. Therefore teach us daily to trust in Your word and providence and not to worry. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

In Philippians 4:6 NKJV, apostle Paul is saying,  "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;" It simply means not to be worried about anything but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known to God. Do not worry about what you going to have tomorrow,  but pray and give thanks for there is a tomorrow for you! A hope for living! Many at times, even myself, will think what color shirt to be worn tomorrow, or what we going to eat tomorrow. Yes, I always have a hard time planning on what color shirt or pants I need to wear to go to office. But you know, Jesus is telling to us today that our life is more than food and the body is more than clothing. God prepares for us everything we need for everyday, we just need to give thanks, and lift up our request in prayer to God.

A lot of people worry most of the time. Worry about where to get money, worry about how keep our body fit, worry about this and that. Yes as humans it is our nature to worry, but Jesus is saying to us, by worrying can we add a cubit to our stature? People who worries either a lot or little are people with little faith. They rather worry than choose to believe in God! So what's your reason to worry? Let's make it simple. Jesus is your hope, your worries is nothing before Him but your prayers and your supplications is important to Him because you are precious and more value than everything else He has created.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
