Devotion:
Read Matthew 6:25-33.
Many years ago I was walking through a very dark time and it felt like God was absent. One morning, this passage in Matthew was my daily reading. Still struggling, I prepared for work that morning and when exiting the car, a little bird on a pole started singing a most beautiful song. It was a reminder that God cared for me and was working in and through the circumstances. For the next month, every morning, that little bird was on that pole singing his song. I don’t know if it was really the same little bird, but I do know that God used that little bird to soothe and reassure his child - me.
Worry and anxiety fills our minds with useless clutter that leaves no room for God. It also clouds perspective, causing us to focus on self rather than on God. Trusting God involves trusting Him to care for us. As believers we still work to meet our needs; but we don’t worry. We know God will care for us.
Personal Worship Option:
What worries are occupying your thoughts today? Share them with God, do the next best things, and rest in the knowledge that God is working on your behalf.
