“Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment” (Matthew 6:25).
Today’s verse reemphasizes yesterday’s devotional. We worry too much about temporal things. Psalm 23:1 says “The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want.” Even with our present economy, many of us are very blessed. We may not have everything we want, but, our needs are being met. We should be more grateful.
It’s amazing how much simpler life becomes when we put Him first. Knowing He will see us through anything we face should be part of our mindset. Let’s identify the temporal things of this life and place them at the feet of Jesus. Then we can begin to do a mindset stretch concerning things of eternal value.
PRAY TOGETHER: Pray for missionaries Ken and Judy Bailey (Japan) as they move into the neighborhood of children who attend the church’s Kids Club. Pray for an uneventful move and an easy transition and that God would arrange divine appointments for the Baileys to interact and share the gospel with these parents.
