Don't Worry

Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?
Luke 12:24-26

Let me share some thoughts from Henry Blackaby on this passage, this has really spoken to me lately...

"Ravens were despised birds, considered unclean by the Jews, yet - Jesus pointed out - God cared for them. So of course Almighty God will surely care and provide for His people, the ones He sent His Son to die for!

Yet we worry. Worry reflects a habitual lack of faith in the Lord's willingness or ability to provide for us. Worry reveals our hesitation to believe God will meet our needs in practical ways, and our anxiety increases when we don't see how we can provide for ourselves. Worry comes so easily, yet it changes nothing about our circumstances.

Actually, worry is a much more accurate gauge of our faith than any doctrinal statement we might utter. Instead of fretting, we do better to remind ourselves that God has repeatedly testified in His Word that He loves us. He has promised again and again that He will provide for our every need, and He has consistently declared His sovereignty over our future. If after all these assurances we are still anxious, we must become better acquainted with our Lord."
