Day 39
As much as my grandma was a prayer
warrior, she would often worry so much about her children and
grandchildren. She was a carrying,
loving and compassionate woman. She was
always treated with respect and my uncle’s friends would show extreme kindness
to her. Regardless, if we were taking a
short trip somewhere or going out with friends, Grandma would stay up all night
(and early morning) until everyone was safely home.
Worry is indeed natural if you’re a parent
or grandparent. But we shouldn’t worry
because it takes our focus off God.
Worry is an area we all need to work on in our spiritual life. What
areas do you need to work on?
Forgiveness, love, financial stewardship. Teamwork, encouragement, leadership. No matter what area it is, ask God tonight to
begin working on that area. Listen to
Him. Be Obedient to Him.
25 “Therefore I tell
you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will
drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food,
and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the
air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly
Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 And
which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? 28 And
why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they
grow: they neither toil nor spin, 29 yet I tell you, even
Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 But
if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is
thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31 Therefore
do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or
‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the Gentiles seek after all these
things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33 But
seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will
be added to you. Matthew
6:25-33
