"Greeting in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 27 September 2012"
Today's Bible Verse: Luke 12:22-27 "Then He said to His disciples, "Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; nor about the body. what you put on. Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing. Consider the raven for they neither sow nor reap, which have neither storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them. Of how much value are you than the birds? And which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? If you then are not able to do the least, why are you anxious for the rest? Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these."
Wow!!! Here Jesus is telling us NOT TO WORRY, that He will provide and take care of us, His children. Jesus in these verses extends His teachings from abundant possessions (wealth) to necessities.
We are physical beings in a material universe, and must have food, water, and shelter to survive. Jesus challenges us not to be anxious even about necessities and gives two vital insight: (1) We need not be anxious because we have an Abba Father who care for us and (2) we must not be anxious because that would shift the focus of our attention from God, to the things of this world.
Anxiety is a result of envisioning the future without God. The best defense against worry is staying in communication with our Heavenly Father. When we turn our thoughts toward Him, we can think more positively. Remember to listen, as well as speak, making your thoughts a dialogue with God.
If you must consider upcoming events follow these rules: (1) Do not linger in the future, because anxieties sprout up like mushrooms when you wander there (2) Remember the promise of God's continual Presence and include God in any imagery that comes into your mind.
Mental discipline does not come easy for us, because we are accustomed of being in control and trying to work it out for ourselves and not giving it to God. However, the reality of God's Presence with us now and forever outshines and out weights anything that we can ever do on our own.

Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day. Go in Peace and Serve the Lord our God with Gladness. Love God More Today. Always remember that when you have a spiritual, emotional, physical, or financial dilemma in your life and you yell out, "I CAN'T," GOD Whispers to you, "BUT I CAN."
JESUS REIGNS!!! May God's Love, Peace, Strength, and Grace be with you all.
