Don't Worry

Scripture – Luke 12:22-26: 22Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. 23Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. 24Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! 25Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? 26Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?

Reflection: What a simple command! “Do not worry about your life.” There’s nothing more that needs to be said. I just need to obey.

So today I’m not going to worry about my life. I have an enjoyable day head of me. I will trust God to provide what I need along the way.

Thank you, Lord, for your command and your promise. Remind me today when I start to forget.
