Today I want to read a part of Matthew about the security that we have in God, and how thankful I am to know that every second of every day, he is with me, taking care of me, loving me, and providing for me. Some days I let my entire day be ruined if Jude doesn't have the perfect outfit on to go to this event or the mall, or if I see paint chipped off the wall, by all means it has to be repainted THAT day. God, help me to CHECK myself. Wow, how unimportant are the things of this life. I feel stupid even typing the things I worry about day to day so I will spare you more examples :) Its so amazing to think of how much God loves us, and how much his will comes to pass in our lives if we just trust in him and find our security in him, not other things. Isn't that easy to do? Guilty as charged.
Matthew 6:24-35
“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? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?
“And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Today I am thankful for the life God has given to me.
Here are a few more things I am thankful for...there are so many more than just this!
(in no particular order, haha)
