. . . do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on —Matthew 6:25
My post this morning was for Tomorrow’s Utmost. I was a bit ahead of myself. This is based on today’s Utmost. We need to note that over care for our lives is unbelief. “. . . do not worry about your life . . . .” Don’t take the pressure of your provision upon yourself. It is not only wrong to worry, it is unbelief; worrying means we do not believe that God can look after the practical details of our lives, and it is never anything but those details that worry us. Have you ever noticed what Jesus said would choke the Word He puts in us? Is it the devil? No— “the cares of this world” (Matthew 13:22 ). It is always our little worries. We say, “I will not trust when I cannot see”— and that is where unbelief begins. The only cure for unbelief is obedience to the Spirit.
We have a clear choice: have faith in God or put faith in ourselves and our ability to provide all that we need. Not really a choice if we look at it objectively, yet we struggle with it. I know the secret is to focus on the Lord. If I keep my eyes on Him, I will know He is the source. My eyes just keep slipping.
