Another Worry-Free Day

Scripture – Luke 12:27-31: 27“Consider how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 28If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith! 29And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. 30For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. 31But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.

Reflection: Here’s one of the great promises of the Bible. Yesterday was a worry-free day. That was a choice I made, and it affected the whole day.

I think I’ll do it again today. I’ll trust what Jesus says here. God knows what I need. He will give me what I need. So I am free to seek His kingdom without being distracted by needless worry.

This is such a simple lesson. I don’t know why I forget it from time to time. Today I will remember. This will be another worry-free day. Thank you, Lord, for your provision.

An Invitation: A small group will be meeting this coming Sunday morning from 9:45 – 10:30am to share what we’ve learned and seen in this week’s readings. We meet in the Pastor’s office at Bethel Baptist Church, 13330 Trenton Road in Southgate. Everyone’s welcome to join us.
