Volume 10, Issue 51: No Need To Fuss

During hard times it's easy to be preoccupied with what's lacking, what's broken, what's missing. This year has been particularly difficult for many due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Some people lost livelihoods, some had to take pay cuts, downsize operations and so forth. As a result, a sense of anxiety and stress increased for many.

Even though we know that no amount of worrying can change a circumstance, most people invest a lot of energy in worry mode, stressed and unhappy. Difficult circumstances make it hard for us to be still and know that God will see us through each day, meet the needs that come with each day. But somehow, day in-day out we find something to eat, something to wear, a roof over our heads, a way to cope with the difficulties.

We must learn to relax during difficult times because God attends to us. Because we know God, we shouldn't be so preoccupied with getting what we want, so we can respond to God's giving. When we do, we find that all our daily needs are met without unnecessarily giving undue airtime to the difficulties at hand. God never fails to make a way for his people. He may not show up in the manner we want, but show up he does.

"If God gives such attention to the appearance of wildflowers—most of which are never even seen—don’t you think he’ll attend to you, take pride in you, do his best for you? What I’m trying to do here is to get you to relax, to not be so preoccupied with getting, so you can respond to God’s giving. People who don’t know God and the way he works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how he works. Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don’t worry about missing out. You’ll find all your everyday human concerns will be met.” Matthew‬ ‭6:30-33‬ ‭MSG‬‬.

For His Glory,
