Birds, flowers, and grass
June 7, 2008
I just did the math. My summer earnings will just barely get me through Fall Quarter 2008, because my parents are not financially supporting me (which is fine, they are right in helping me become more financially independent).
My heart is tempted to be worried. What if I have unexpected expenses? What if an emergency comes up? What if, what if, what if? But c’mon heart, the Lord Himself spoke of birds, lilies, and grass in Matthew 6:25-34. Chill out, heart. He’s got you taken care of. Our God is a God who provides. It’s all good. Keep the Kingdom as your numero uno priority, and all is well.
But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
(Mat 6:33-34)
