Sowing, reaping and storing away - we all do this in some way or another - maybe with money, with food or even with friends. In these verses Jesus is showing us that our life and our body is more important than food and clothing. Or, men and women are more important than their jobs/their occupation. Jesus refers to us as "valuable" - we are much more valuable than the birds of the air. In God's eyes we are so important, valuable, of great worth - so much so that His only Son died & rose again so that we might have everlasting life.
You matter to God!
God will provide and does provide. The birds are not worried - why should we worry?
Worry is a trust issue (a lack of trust). Worry is definitely one of my weaknesses and I always feel ashamed after continuously worrying about something. God is in control - not me - everything happens for a reason and He knows what that reason is. All we have to do is follow Him. In the long run, whatever happened or didn't happen is for our own good, whether we realize it at the time or not.

We can peacefully live knowing that God has it figured out.
Knowing that God loves you always makes it easier to trust instead of worry.

My husband and I were having this very discussion last night, and this verse was the one in my head while we were talking. How reassuring to find it here today as well.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I wonder if I do matter but then I think about God and know I do. So thank you for sharing this with us.
