Good morning, brother, and I trust that you had a wonderful Memorial Day Holiday with your close ones. Blessings to you on this Tuesday as we start another week!Read Matthew 6:25 – 34.
In these times the news we receive is filled with despair, doubt, conflict, and uncertainty. It is therefore easy to find ourselves walking down a path of worry and anxiety, particularly as men – after all, our Good God created us to be (among other things) protectors and providers.
In this passage from The Sermon on the Mount, Our Lord Jesus reminds us that Our Heavenly Father is well aware of all that we need. And because we have faith that The Father has an overarching and intimate and incomprehensible knowledge of our needs, we are instructed by Jesus not to worry. Not once, not twice, but 5 times in this brief discourse Jesus addresses the issue of removing worry from our lives!
As we consider this notable instruction, let us equally consider The One giving us the instruction – He is the “the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” (Rev 1). He is the God who defines Himself as always existing, across all time.
Therefore, since He is well aware of our tomorrows, let us place our worries of today into His Almighty hands. And as for this day, let us each “seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness”! Amen!
