Creative Block

Jesus tells us, “Do not worry about your life” (Mathew 6:25). The Father takes care of the birds of the air and the flowers of the field. He waters the flowers. He feeds the birds, which do not die without the Father in heaven (Mathew 10:29-31). Do we really think he is not concerned with us or not able to gives us the strength to face life?

When we worry we become anxious. Our logical thought processes are blocked affecting our decision making process so that we are much more prone to error. We need to remember that God gives us grace to face today. He does not give us grace to face tomorrow because it is not here yet (Mathew 6:34).

When we decide to put our trust in God, in his power to deliver us, in his ability to accomplish what he desires, our minds are able to function at full capacity. The trust in God brings peace (Mathew 6: 31-34; Philippians 4:7).
