The days are so full. Full of life, love, sunshine, promise. Full of pain, anxiety, pressure, sorrow, uncertainty. And some days are full of both. Those are the days of rollar coaster emotions. Today is one of them. I find that the rain does fall on the just and the unjust.
The Lord reminded me of Luke 12. In verses 22- 32 it says: "Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. 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 your life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest? Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you—you of little faith! And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well. Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom."
Worry and fear is not an option. He will give me all I need. He will provide for my family. Psalm 37 is a promise and instruction I cling to today and tomorrow and the day after that.
