PROMISE #116 - APRIL 26

But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you. ~Luke 12:31

Today's Bible verse is from Luke 12:22-34, which is a longer passage where Jesus talks about some important things we often worry about, like food, clothes, and a place to live. He tells us not to worry about these things because we have a loving Father who has promised to take care of us. Jesus uses examples of the lilies of the field and the birds of the air to show that God cares for all of His creation.

The promise today is based on the idea that your Father in heaven knows what you need and will always provide it to you, just like a good father does for his children. We can focus on our Heavenly Father's kingdom and do His work because we don't have to worry about taking care of ourselves.

This part of the Bible has been challenging for me at times. Jesus tells us not to worry about our lives. I often find it easier to say than to do. Jesus tells us that we can live a life free of worry.

Today, I pray that we all believe what God says. If we truly embrace this message, we will experience a life without worry and stress, as long as we trust Him with our lives. When we really want to find Him, He takes care of everything else in our lives!

Prayer:

Thank you, Father, for saying You will handle all the little things in my life so I don't have to worry. Please help me focus on your kingdom instead of all the things on this earth that I can't change by worrying. I trust that you will take care of me because I know you are a loving Father who takes care of the birds and flowers.

I pray in Jesus' name, Amen.
