Opening/Scripture of the Day:
Matthew 6:25-34 Good News Translation (GNT) 25 “This is why I tell you: do not be worried about the food and drink you need in order to stay alive, or about clothes for your body. After all, isn’t life worth more than food? And isn’t the body worth more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds: they do not plant seeds, gather a harvest and put it in barns; yet your Father in heaven takes care of them! Aren’t you worth much more than birds? 27 Can any of you live a bit longer by worrying about it? 28 “And why worry about clothes? Look how the wild flowers grow: they do not work or make clothes for themselves. 29 But I tell you that not even King Solomon with all his wealth had clothes as beautiful as one of these flowers. 30 It is God who clothes the wild grass—grass that is here today and gone tomorrow, burned up in the oven. Won’t he be all the more sure to clothe you? What little faith you have!31 “So do not start worrying: ‘Where will my food come from? or my drink? or my clothes?’ 32 (These are the things the pagans are always concerned about.) Your Father in heaven knows that you need all these things. 33 Instead, be concerned above everything else with the Kingdom of God and with what he requires of you, and he will provide you with all these other things. 34 So do not worry about tomorrow; it will have enough worries of its own. There is no need to add to the troubles each day brings.
So we see that we’re worth more than the rest of God’s animals. And God cares for all his animals. We are told not to worry here. In other places, we are told not to fear. Trusting in God for his provision means we don’t need to worry about being defeated monetarily. Trusting in God for his protection means we don’t need to worry about being defeated physically. Even in our worst sickness… even in our dying moments… we’re going to Heaven. So stay tough, courageous and expectant for God can do a miracle at any moment.
Prayer of Forgiveness:
We can not only mess up, we can go in the opposite direction that we’re supposed to go. Don’t let us go wrong very long. Help us to correct our path to that which leads to Heaven through Jesus Christ. Amen.
Movements of the Holy Spirit:(This was from a few years ago, where I passed out and hit my spine against a solid object. I’m pretty cool and healthy now.)
My text neck is still of concern. When I look down, my legs get numb which is a bit trippy, but hey, I’ll trust in God. Yesterday my mom popped my back some. Today I went to a good Chiropractor. We actually talked about God some. That is cool.
Today’s Blessing:
I hope you can embrace some not worrying and being happy. Remember when you were a kid, and walking outdoors was cool enough to stoke you. Go check out some plants and animals and stuff. Getting ahead monetarily and winning the rat race isn’t really of God, unless you plan on helping the poor a bunch. Getting rich and living the lifestyle is counter to what God has for us, so why even aim for that?
Praise for God:
Thank God that while my health condition now is of concern, I feel no pain. Traveling forward in time with no pain is a blessing. We come close to our Eternal Home where stuff owns, and Jesus Christ in the flesh visits us. I pray all of you and your friends and family can move forward in time with no pain. I pray for healing where needed too.
Prayer Cues:
Pray for people with terminal diseases that they get cured. If they don’t get cured, that their disease does not cause them too much pain before they pass on.
Pray for the poor to be fed, the sick to be cured.
Pray for good government for the people.
