Be Anxious For Nothing...

Said the robin to the sparrow,

“I should really like to know,

Why these anxious human beings

Rush about and worry so.”

Said the sparrow to the robin,

“Friend I think that it must be,

That they have no Heavenly Father,

Such as cares for you and me.”

This morning I feel privileged to have taken a break

from cleaning my house to listen to this sermon:

All That Jesus Taught

part 24

by Zac Poonen

If you can, please listen to it.

It's about the sin of anxiety and how

 that really is an insult to God.

I really went on a trip down

memory lane as Bro. Zac spoke,

thinking about the various situations

I've walked through, 

and how through all of them,

as I sought God,

He brought me to a place of

trusting Him with a 

child-like faith.

I know that when

I look at God as my

FATHER,

my Daddy, my Abba

 I am not anxious,

because I know He will keep me.

We go through tough times.

Friends betray us.

Our children get sick.

Close friends contract cancer,

and some of them die before

it seems it was their time.

The bills look higher than

the pay check.

Congregations we are part of

crumble and fail.

Rain keeps falling on fields

that need to be cultivated.

"Do not be anxious.

In everything, by prayer and

supplication, let your requests

be made known to God."

He knows how to take care of us.

Can we rest in that?!

Love and blessings,
