"Greetings in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 25 March 2013, from Cindi, a daughter of the King of kings and Lord of lords."
Today's Bible Verse: "Luke 12:22-26 "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 will 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 more value than the birds? And which one of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? If you are not able to do the least, why are you anxious for the rest?"
I love these verses. As I continue to read and dig deeper into God's Words, I continue to be blown away by what God does for us, and how much He Loves me. At one point in my life, I did worry about everything, but now I have learned with the Holy Spirit's guidance, not to worry about tomorrow, for I don't know what tomorrow holds, but God does. So now my focus as well as all Christians should be on what we can do for Jesus "today" to bring the Good News of Salvation to others, knowing that He is ALWAYS with us, and that He will NEVER FORSAKE LEAVE nor LEAVE us. Jesus tell us to bring "ALL" our burdens and cares to Him, and that He would "take them" onto His Strong and able Shoulders. (WOW!!!) Thank You Jesus for Your Promises that "NEVER FAIL or FALL SHORT."
In verse 24, Jesus describes God's care of ravens, unclean creatures according to Jewish law and among the least respected of birds, yet God even cares for them. "How much more valuable you, that they?" Here, Jesus points out that God will take care of us. We are told that worry is utterly useless, and shows a lack of FAITH in God's plan for our lives.
We are physical beings in a material universe, and must have food, drink, and shelter to survive. Jesus her challenges us not to be anxious even about necessities and gives us two vital insights: (1) we need not be anxious, because we have an Abba Father who cares about 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. So our best defense against worry, is staying in communication with our Heavenly Father. When you turn your thoughts toward God, you can think much more positively. Remember to listen, as well as speak, making your thoughts a dialog with Him.
If you 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 continued Presence and (3) Include God in any imagery that comes to mind. This mental discipline does not come easily for us, because we are accustomed to being the "god" of our fantasies. However, the reality of God's Presence with us, now and forevermore outshines and out weighs any fantasy that we could "EVER" imagine.
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, relational, physical, or financial dilemma in your life, and you tell out, "I CAN'T," GOD WHISPERS to you, "BUT I CAN."
