His eye is on the sparrow...

Luke 12:22-34
22And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.

23The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.
24Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?
25And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?
26If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?
27Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
28If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?
29And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
30For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
31But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
32Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
33Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.
34For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.



So many times I find myself struggling and stressing wondering if we will have the things we need. I'm changing this. I am going to completely rely on God to provide for my needs. The scripture above talks about how God provides for the birds and aren't we even more special than the birds? Worrying gets us no where and only shows that we have little faith in the plan God has for our life. Psalm 46:1 says " God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." I love when God repeats himself in the bible and Matthew 6:25-33 is basically the saying the same thing as our scripture today from Luke. I believe God knows how hard headed we can be so when He really wants us to know something He made sure it was in the bible multiple times. We are human and it's only natural to want to worry about things but there's not need for it when God can and will take care of it for us. Today I'm placing all of my worries in His hands and just like the shepard carries the small sheep that have a hard time keeping up with the folk, God will carry me through this. It's pretty awesome when you think about it. The God, our God, the creator of the universe will take care of me. He created this beautiful earth and everything on it. I'm anxious and excited to see what kind of beautiful creation He will turn my life into.

Psalm 25:4-6
"Shew me thy ways, O Lord; teach me thy paths. Lead me in thy truth and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day."
