DON'T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF

Mathew 6: 25 – 34


It's all small stuff.

Day by day people worry about things that seem like mountains, but are really grains of sand upon reflection. A lot of the time we worry and stress out about things that are far from our control. More and more we dwell on these things, telling ourselves that God will never give us more than we can handle, but all the time we pile more and more importance on these grains of sand until they grow and grow until they become insurmountable.
Humans are funny creations, flawed yet loved, sinful yet forgiven.
But God has better plans for us.

25 ¶ "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?
26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
27 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’

33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

The only conclusion that I can come up with after reading this portion of scripture is that we should all place our faith in the provision of God.
He will bless us beyond what we expect.
