In the book of Matthew chapter 6 we are instructed how to pray. We have all read and said the "Lord's Prayer" a million times, yet what jumps out to me as we are faced with uncertain times is that Jesus admonishes those who worry about tomorrow. His prayer tells us to pray for "daily" bread. If you are like me, I have yet to go hungry or to see my kid begging for bread, yet fear is a result of a lack of faith that is often about tomorrow, the unseen.
In Matthew Jesus goes on to compare us to the fowls of the air, the lilies of the field, the grass and yet concludes that we are of so much more value than these! Will he not take care of us his children?
With admonishment he also gives instruction. Ch. 6:33-34. " Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for tomorrow, for tomorrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is evil thereof."
The bible says without faith we cannot please God. With that in mind may we learn to walk by faith, trusting in God's sovereignty for all of our days......Listen and be encouraged today.
