Today’s Thought “Greatest Care Forsaken?” G. Ward

 

Matthew 6: ²⁷ And which of you by worrying can add a single day to his life’s span?

 

Whereas birds awaken to a quest for food and won’t be disappointed, for their Maker provides all they’ll need, He’ll do the same for us. We, however, have been given more intelligence and that was never meant for our detriment, but we’ve selfishly and arrogantly pulled away from our Creator, even storing up things we’ll never utilize, while commanding ownership of moments ahead with no guarantee, even endeavoring great bouts of planning to lack thorough assessment that counts the cost in such decisiveness. Are we (as followers of Christ) to remain idle, even robotic; waiting on an audible instruction from our Lord? No. As the birds work to discover food here and there and whereas great storage isn’t their consideration, but a reliance that the morsels will exist if a tomorrow is granted, we’re higher than they; with an eternal manual to guide us unto the peace our Savior gives.

 

Father God, we’re given life to represent a Home our Lord Jesus prepared for us. Yet, a practice of owning moments, even those not presented, dishonors Your lead and causes grief and even then, when we cry out through godly sorrow, You keep rescuing us. What a Mighty God You are! May we remember more each day provided to cast all our cares on You, for Your care for us is greatest and won’t cease; all because of our Lord Jesus, Amen.
