Therefore I say to you do not worry about your life.
Matthew chapter 6 verse 25
David Jeremiah gives us this “one line of scripture“ in his devotional, Daily in His Presence and just “that one line“ gives us something to ponder. So after you read David’s reading for today perhaps you might allow me to suggest you read Matthew chapter 6 verses 19 to 34 for a complete picture. Now come back and read this devotional again. David uses the New King James Bible and I use the Good News Bible and / or the Amplified Study Bible.
God gives us clear instruction and good advice on how “not to worry”, and to “seek and trust Him” for our daily needs. God even says don’t worry about tomorrow in verse 36, as the troubles of today are enough for each one of us to handle.
When you give your needs to the Father, He hears your request. So ask in thankful prayer, believe you will receive, and let the peace of God surround you.
As David says:
If you are tempted to worry about anything today, commit it to God with a thankful heart. And let His peace guard your heart and mind.
- - - Guard your heart and mind, now let that sink in for a few minutes.
I could not have said this better, so let’s take his advice and just know God is in control and He will never leave us or forsake us. This is found in Hebrews chapter 13 verse 5 and my Good News Bible reads this way for the whole verse;
(5)Keep your lives free from the love of money, and be satisfied with what you have.For God has said, “ I will never leave you; I will never abandon you.”
Well this certainly is a comforting reading today so enjoy the sunshine, take a walk around your property and breathe in the fresh air while counting your many blessings to rest a worried mind. Counting blessings is so much better for your health than worry. And a smile will light up your spirit and soon everyone around you will want what you have. A piece that goes beyond our understanding.
Have a glorious day.
I needed to hear that today. THANKS CAROLINE!
