"Do Not Worry About Your Life..."



"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 ravens, for they neither sow nor reap, which have neither storehouse nor barn and God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than birds? And which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? If you then are not able to do the least, why are you anxious for the rest? Consider the lillies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you, even Solomon in all was glory was not arrayed like one of these. If then God so clothes the grass, which today is in the field and tomorrow thrown into the oven, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith? And do not seek what you should eat or what you should drink, nor have an anxious mind. For all these things the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that you need these things. But seek the kingdom  of God, and all these things shall be added to you". Luke 12:22-31

I love the scriptures above because the Bible tell us not to worry (or be anxious). You may have fallen upon hard times and do not know when your next meal will be. You may not have many clothes, but in Luke Chapter 12, God reminds us that he will take care of us. In Genesis 1:26, the Bible says that God gives us "dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl in the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth". So, if God feeds the birds and the fish, then why wouldn't he feed us. This is another scripture that tells us that as long as we follow God, we do not need to be afraid.
