Today’s Reading - Luke 12:22-31

Thought:

We often think of the creative role of God — the God who spoke the world and everything in it into existence in an amazing display of His transcendent power and wisdom. But God’s involvement in this world did not end there. Jesus portrays God as the caregiver of His creation. It is He who feeds the birds of the air and arrays the flowers of the field in colorful glory. He sustains and provides for the world and its inhabitants in a way that is not just sufficient but abundant and beautiful and perfect. So what is the point of this description of God as caregiver of the world? Well, have you ever considered that, of all of God’s creations, we are the only ones that worry? We, the centerpiece of God’s wonderful creation, made in His own image, recipients of His love and greatest gift, have no reason to worry and yet, we do. But God is a faithful God. He loves us and will care for us. If we will put Him first and trust Him with our lives, He will bless us and provide for us in greater ways than we can imagine. So trust and don’t worry!

What are some things that we can do to minimize our worry?
