We Are So Precious to God to Worry


"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? 26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?" (Matthew 6:25- 26 King James Version)

We sometimes question the goodness and the will of God in our lives. And we do that when things are not going our way. When worries gets in the way; selfishness, wrong attitude towards God and people, and doubt will begin to sink in into our hearts and minds. Thus, wrong or bad decisions, lack of motivation and discouragement are some of the negative consequences or results of anxiety. Our attitude of dwelling in the worries of life displease God the Father.

Jesus gave us some of the day to day and practical occurrences in our own backyard. He used the birds of the air as an illustration when we are facing worries every day on almost everything. The word "Fowl" actually refers to the domesticated birds such as chicken, duck, turkey. We feed them to be our meat. Jesus promised to the faithful; "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." (Matthew 6:33- 34 KJV)- By Ely Roque Sagansay
