Matthew 6:25-27
25Therefore I say
to you, Take no thought for your life, what you shall eat, or what you shall
drink; nor yet for your body, what you shall put on. Is not the life more than
meat, and the body than raiment? 26Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow
not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds
them. Are you not much better than they? 27Which of you by taking thought can
add one cubit to his stature?

In life we plan, worry and chase what the American constitution
calls “happiness”. We dream and pursue
positions, places and things. In our
Christian lives God should be giving us the dreams and plans that, when we
depend on and grow in Him, become the desire of our hearts. Yet even in His presence,(at least for me),
we worry about the how’s and whens of the plan and goals that are before
us. We wonder and become anxious to the
point of grief when we cannot see through the dark spots in the plans God has
given us. We even try to fill in the
gaps with our own plans.
Bottom line; There is no testimony in our worry. Planning to do what we believe God is missing is a plan that is destined to
fail. Yes it’s fine to have plans and
goals but when they are born out of worry we display our lack of faith. We have all been there and some of us are
working our way out of this rut. God
wants you to live as if He has you taken care of. He wants you to know that your destiny will
not arrive any faster via your worry and anxious planning. Take care and rest
in the never failing ability of God. He
specializes in success! Whenever you are
presented with an opportunity to worry, just say, “This looks like a job for
Jesus”! Give it to Him in continuous prayer and He will show you the plan.
Remember I love you always and in all ways.
Rev. M. Harrison
