And? How was yesterday? Do you have the verses from Matthew 6:25-34 times by praying or durchgedankt? Read them to you again before you read the rest of this entry:
why I say you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink it, or about your body, what ye will wear! Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: for they sow nor reap, they gather not into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? But whoever of you may be worried by his life-long one cubit to sit? And why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow! They toil not and are not crazy, I tell you, however, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of them. Now, if God clothes the grass of the field today and tomorrow is cast into the oven, so dressed, he will not do much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or What will we drink? or: 'What shall we wear? For after all these things the Gentiles seek, but your heavenly Father knows that you need all that. Seek ye first the kingdom rather God and His righteousness; you will be added to all this! Therefore you shall not have to worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day is enough trouble of its own.
Someone rumgeforscht a bit and found out that our worries ...
- ... 40% relate to things that will never happen
- ... to 30% of things past concerns that we can not change
- ... to 12% false things to be criticized by others whose sake we
- ... affect up to 10% of our health caused by stress, worry only worse
- ... to 8% real problems are that we are facing.
How absurd to worry about. How useful to follow Jesus' words and make us not ! His first statements we point out that life is more than from the things to which we care. These include food, drink and clothing. Why would we worry about? Well, the question was then currently in Israel - and I have lived in areas where it is red hot for some people. Yet we worry about here with us so often about it. Caring about food, how healthy it probably is. To drink, whether it has enough variety for guests. To Dress: What others think well, if not what is once again a brand new or turn. Jesus' words are not clear?
Provides "Do not ... what you eat ...
drink what you ... what you will!
not you worry, saying: What shall we eat? or:
What are we drinking? or: How we will ? Dress
your heavenly Father knows that you need all that.
Maybe "less is more" less concern - more peace and experience of God.
A bassoon player came to the great conductor Arturo Toscanini. Very nervous known the bassoon player that he is not the high I could play. Toscanini smiled and replied: ".! You not worry in your part of tonight is no high E"

your heavenly Father knows what you need!
