Thought for the Day

I'm sure you've noticed how the price of just about everything has gone up lately. Gas, food, you name it; we're paying more for it. I don't know of anyone whose pay has been increased accordingly, do you? We're all having to tighten up and watch our spending even more than usual.

It's very easy to get caught up in worrying about where the money is going to come from to meet your obligations and still put food on the table. But you know what? Our God is faithful! Look at these Scriptures:

But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19

I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. Psalm 37:25

And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Matthew 6:28-34

When you feel yourself starting to worry about the bills and buying groceries and keeping the kids in clothes, read these verses again, and take comfort. Our God is good and He will always take care of us! Praise His Holy Name!

PS – Sorry I haven't posted much in a while. You may have noticed how the postings on our other blog have increased. I'm also working part time now, and don't have quite so much free time. I will try to do better, though!
