Luke 12:22-34
In verse 25 it says that we can't ever add a single hour onto our lives. So how or why do we do it? Think of the old saying "Worry is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do but gets you nowhere." So it doesn't help so why do we still do it? Because we feel the need to be in control of our lives and provide for our families. But the where does God fit in to this big worry picture? Where does the omnipotent, omnipresent heavenly Father come in to play in our big picture of worry? It says in v. 31 that all you have to do is seek His Kingdom and all these things will be added on too you. What are these things? Well its says it right before this in verse 30. Did you catch it? EVERYTHING that you NEED He will provide. So what does this mean in the long run of things? Well all you have to do is to seek God every day with all your heart and He will provide for you. Just like it says in a song that was sung last night, turn your face fully on God and all the earthly things will grow dim. Every thing pales in comparision to the Face of God. So back to the worry aspect. What place does worry have in a life that is pleasing to God? It can't help you and gets you nowhere. So if worry is like a rocking chair then prayer is like running a marathon. And my friends is what God has called us to do. To run the race of a christian life 100% sold out for Him.
