The Rebuild: Matthew 5-7ნიმუში

What do you trust in to provide? Money, property, career, health? These are all good things to desire but things which can drive us to anxiety. Who do you trust to provide? A ceaseless temptation faced by Christians is to forget that God is a heavenly Father of providential care. He knows our needs before we do and He will not let us go without all that we require to live out His will for our lives.

Who do you trust to provide? Not one bird falls from a tree without our Father’s say so. Not one child of God goes without what God has ordained for them.

Who do you trust to provide? How much time and energy we waste with worry and anxiety? How little peace we settle for when our minds and hearts are concerned that we don’t have enough. Bishop J.C. Ryle said, “[Jesus] offers us a gracious promise, as a remedy against an anxious spirit. He assures us that if we seek first and foremost to have a place in the kingdom of grace and glory, everything that we really want in this world will be given to us.”

Today, ponder this: What day to day worries and anxieties are you currently experiencing? Take time to list them before Jesus and pray, committing them to His hands.
