Matthew 6v19-33


For a long time I have been reaching out, maybe not as much as I should have but I have been. This morning while riding the train to work, after maybe conscious effort of listening to Praise FM in the morning and the night when I sleep has slowly tuned me a bit more towards God.
Well, I am now currently anxiously waiting for a response for something that I feel is good for me and my direction. I envisioned how things will be like for me this entire year and a favorable response to that question will please me alot. Very anxious and nervous but God is showing me how to trust and to understand that hey… no matter which direction the answer is heading towards, I will be okay. What is so amazing about this God of mine is that He communicates with me in his own subtle ways. So…. while riding the train this morning listening to some family workshop on Praise FM, God suddenly imprinted Matthew 6v24 to be exact into my heart. And Having the awesome iphone, i immediately browsed for the verse.

" No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other,or he will be devoted to the one and despite the other. You cannot serve both God and Money. " I reckon this is God's way of reminding me why I do what I do, why I make some decisions, that to always make sure the reasons behind these acts remains faithful and in tune with His ways. I am human, but He, He is God. And through Him, I can always try.

So then He prompted me to read from Matthew 6v19.. all the way to Matthew 6v33..
So what spoke most to me next was.. Matthew 6v25, "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you eat or rink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important then clothes? Look at the birds of the air: they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

v28 " And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies in the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that 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 and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you? O you of little faith? So do not worry, saying " What shall we eat" or "What shall we drink? or "What shall we wear?" For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavently Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."

I was immediately calmed and … reminded of how much He loves us. Who am I to say He will love me any much lesser because of my wrongful doings that are human errors? But thank God for being merciful. Well, I trust Him with that decision and I lift it up onto Him. And I thank Him for reminding me all these lessons and humbling myself again.

Amen, thank You for loving me.
