This Day’Äôs Needs
¬Ý
Every day I need the Lord.¬Ý Even one day away makes me weak.¬Ý There’Äôs nothing I shouldn’Äôt take before the Lord.¬Ý He knows all anyway.¬Ý He doesn’Äôt keep a tally sheet He does keep His promises.¬Ý So why do I worry so much?¬Ý The Lord’Äôs provision isn’Äôt based upon my production, but upon His promise.
"This is why I tell you: do not be worried about the food and drink you need in order to stay alive, or about clothes for your body.¬Ý After all, isn't life worth more than food?¬Ý And isn't the body worth more than clothes?¬Ý Look at the birds: they do not plant seeds, gather a harvest and put it in barns; yet your Father in heaven takes care of them!¬Ý Aren't you worth much more than birds?¬Ý Can any of you live a bit longer by worrying about it?¬Ý And why worry about clothes?¬Ý Look how the wild flowers grow: they do not work or make clothes for themselves.¬Ý But I tell you that not even King Solomon with all his wealth had clothes as beautiful as one of these flowers.¬Ý It is God who clothes the wild grass---grass that is here today and gone tomorrow, burned up in the oven.¬Ý Won't He be all the more sure to clothe you?¬Ý What little faith you have!¬Ý So do not start worrying: 'Where will my food come from? Or my drink? Or my clothes?' (These are the things the pagans are always concerned about.) Your Father in heaven knows that you need all these things.’Äù Matthew 6:25-32
’ÄúLord provide this day’Äôs needs.¬Ý Help me let go of my worry and trust in Your provision.¬Ý Give me wisdom to discern between Your voice and the whispering of the evil one.¬Ý Give us this day.’Äù¬Ý Amen
