Why Worry

“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? Matthew 6:25 NIV

Like some of the other daily verses, I like to read the chapter to get a good reference point. Matthew 6 is many of Jesus' answer to questions posed to him by the pharisees. Jesus was asking them why worry? If he clothes the fields and feeds the birds wouldn't God take just as good, if not better, care of you, his beloved?

I still find it hard not to worry. Obviously we have responsibilities and must work and labor for what we need physically. I am blessed as although we are far from afluent we've never really had to choose between eating or paying a bill. So in that way, yes God has provided...always. And I know he always will. We should praise him for what he will do and what he has done.

And try not to worry.
