Thought For The Day

Knowing God

Most of the people  you know are living with anxiety, fear, and worry. And that is fine stuff if you are not related to the Lord. In fact, if I didn’t know Him,  I’d be wise enough to do a lot of worrying.

But I do know Him. I know His nature. I know His promises. I know His llove. I know that He is my Father and it is His pleasure to give me “the kingdom.” (Luke 12:32) All of those who are still in the sin of unbelief, spend the majority of their life striving after the blessings that are given to me with lavishness. After all, it is my Father who clothes the grasses of the field with incredible beauty even though they are destined for only a few days. It is my Father who feeds the birds, who have no Spiritual value (except to praise Him), and are here today and gone tomorrow. The flowers and the birds spend no time with worry or fear,  or anxious living, and the distress that creates in life. Instead they trust in their Creator whom they have no capacity to know.

I do have that capacity. I know the He knows what I need, and when I need it. I know that when I obediently follow His design and calling in my life, He is likely to give me more than I need, knowing that I will invest that in the Kingdom. I know that He has promised to me everything that pertains to life, both physically and spiritually. And knowing that, why would I worry or fear? Why would I continue with an anxiety-ridden lifestyle? Why would I seek after food and clothing, the trappings of this fleeting World, when I am enriched with the infinite riches of  God?

I must learn to be rich toward God (Luke 12:21) rather than making some foolish attempt to amass Earthly possessions falsely thinking they are my security. I must learn to seek those thing which are Heavenly rather than Earthly. I must learn to seek the Kingdom of God knowing that everything else will be added to my life.

I just keep learning about living free of fear and anxiety and worry. I can promise  you it makes the days better, life richer, and the future brighter.
