Many people wonder how they will make it through this year financially. Yet nothing is a surprise to God. He is not worried. He is sovereign. He is in control. He is the ultimate Provider. And yes, He is even rich.
Do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they? And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life?” (Matthew 6:25-27)
Worry is a trap of the enemy, but trust is a duty of the believer. John Newton’s lyric, ‘tis mine to obey, ‘tis His to provide, speaks volumes. Through obedience, we experience joy. We are not teetering on some wire without a purpose or a safety net. We can rest comfortably in the knowledge that our heavenly Father tenderly cares for and feeds even the tiny sparrow.
Are not two sparrows sold for a cent? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered (Matthew 10:29-30).
