Provisions Anxiety

May15

Be anxious for nothing,
Philippians 4:6a NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/php.4.6.NASB1995

Life can come with lots of anxiety. Worries about ourselves, our children, our livelihood, and multiple other things in life. But God says be anxious for NOTHING.

Why? How?

‭“For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
Matthew 6:25 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.6.25.NASB1995

Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they?
Matthew 6:26 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.6.26.NASB1995

And why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin,
But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith!
Matthew 6:28, 30 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.6.28-30.NASB1995


Do not worry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’
Matthew 6:31 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.6.31.NASB1995

If God can be trusted to care for the birds and flowers, will He not care for His prized and precious creation, you?

🌹casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.
Peter 5:7 NASB1995‬

What is Your Sacrifice?

Oct31

A poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which amount to a cent. Calling His disciples to Him, He said to them, “Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all the contributors to the treasury; for they all put in out of their surplus, but she, out of her poverty, put in all she owned, all she had to live on.” Mark 12:42‭-‬44 NASB/Luke 21:3-4 NASB

This woman parted with all she had. Her livelihood was placed on the altar. She gave all she had for the glory of God.

How could she do that? She trusted in God to be her Jehovah-jireh – the Lord will provide.

🌹 What are you willing to lay on the altar for the glory of God? This woman gave her all.

And He said to them, “Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, who will not receive many times as much at this time and in the age to come, eternal life.” Luke 18:29‭-‬30 NASB
