Honoring God
Dedicating the Temple of God
Live in the light of God (Isaiah 2:5)
Solomon's Blessing
Matthew 6:25-30 New Revised Standard Version
Do Not Worry
25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink,[ a] or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 And can any of you by worrying add a single hour to your span of life?[ b] 28 And why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin, 29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith?
For Reflection
We fret! We fret about what to wear, what we look like, our weight, money matters, illness, and yes, death. Do we not believe that God made us complete with the capacities to thrive in spite of what may or may not happen? Do we not believe that God will provide what we need? Can one face life with confidence in God's protective promise?
Just "Keep on truckin'." Throw worry to the wind and let God sweep it up and dispose of it. Wonderful and joyful things happen in unexpected ways. When one worries, one might be so concentrated on adverse outcomes that one might miss God's help.
Pray
Pray and contemplate your commitment and confidence in the promise of God.
