Matthew 6:25 “Take no thought of
your life.”
Every day, there are a multitude
of distractions that try to divert us from what God is doing in our lives. Often
times, the din and darkness of this world are so overwhelming that it blurs our
vision and drowns out that still small voice of the Holy Spirit inside us.
There is so much to fear and worry about. Chambers says, “It is one steady
encroachment all the time, and unless we allow the Spirit of God to raise up
the standard against it, these things will come in like a flood.”
Unfortunately, the concerns of
this life can draw us away from God instead of toward Him. We try to do things
in our own strength, and get in the way of what He is doing for us. Can’t He,
in His infinite wisdom and almighty power, do more than we can ever hope to do?
Isn’t it more effective to trust in Jesus and follow His leading, than to
blindly travel through life on our own? God does not want us to worry about
anything. Matthew 6:27 “Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to his
life?” Jesus knows our circumstances, all of them, and wants us to trust Him
always and in all ways.
The more we focus on and grow stronger
in our relationship with God, the more He frees our spirits of worry and fear, and
brings us peace.
I too get distracted. The world pulls from every direction. Thank you for these words showing that worries and distractions can be pushed aside and we can focus on God. Let Him take on our cares.
