Today’s devotional was on Matthew 6:25-34, the passage about not being anxious about physical needs because God knows about them. After all, he cares for the lilies of the fields and the birds of the air, so isn’t obvious he’ll take care of us? I guess that’s hyperbole or some other literary device, because there must be millions of Christians living in poverty around the world.
But this message must also be for those who are in poverty. They’re not supposed to worry. I can’t image how they wouldn’t. But I certainly don’t have reason to worry. I wonder why I still do. Lord help me not to.
