A. God’s providence is His completely holy, wise, and powerful preserving and governing every
creature and every action.
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 than food, and the body more 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 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[e]?
28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 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—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 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. (Matthew 6:25-34)
Thoughts: Every creature and every action- is quite a lot! God knows and incorporates every variable into His plan. yet the variables are free. This is a mystery, but we should be assured that God will see us through. He owns the cattle on a thousand hills. He is the King who governs us, and rules us so well for He knows all about us. But if God really does govern, and He really does love us- then we have it made!Let us not consume ourselves with worry or be sucked into the pit of despair. Philippians tells us to not be anxious about anything but in everything in prayer and supplication, let our requests be made known to God. (Phil 4:6,7)
Prayer: Let me replace my worries with my prayers,,
