Matthew 6:25-34, is a wonderful exhortation for us not to worry about our needs. God says look at the beauty and magnificence of my creation; the wild flowers that surround us in the countryside and the birds that swoop through the sky, see how I created them and care for them. If God can do that how much more will he care for us. God says, you focus on me and being like me and pleasing me and I will take care of the provision.

God is not short on supplies for our provision. Everything on this earth belongs to God. “For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills” (Ps 50:10; KJV). “The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of hosts” (Hag 2:8; KJV).

I like his instruction to us to leave the worry with him. In 1 Peter 5:6-7 (KJV), we are told to: “Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you”. Now this does not tell us to sit idly by and wait for God to provide; no, we are to work with our hands to provide our needs. In the apostle Paul’s second letter to the Thessalonians, he wrote: “For even when we were with you, we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat” (2 Thess 3:10; KJV). But, if we trust God and do our part we don’t need to worry, we need to trust God that everything will be taken care of; ends will more than meet. Trust God, take the limits off of him; he will provide.
