Day 25

Day 25


Do not worry

Read Luke 12:22-26.

It has been said, “Worrying is like a rocking chair—it gives you something to do, but it doesn’t get you anywhere.” Jesus affirmed this point in His teaching with His challenge in verse 25. None of us can add an inch to our height, or a second to our lives by worrying about something.

What worries plague you on a daily basis? Make a list of your worries.

How do you handle them?

Read Luke 12:27-30.

Most of us spend way too much time worrying about what others think about our appearance, thoughts, words, and actions. Jesus points out that God takes care of even the grass of the field, which is here one minute, and then tomorrow gone. God clothes even the lilies and the grass, surely He cares for us so much more than that. So, what have we to worry about?

Spend a few minutes soaking in God’s love for you. Think on His protection and how He provides for you. Thank Him for His grace and mercy in tending to your every need.

Read Luke 12:31.

Rather than worry, what should we do? Jesus says to “Seek the kingdom of God…” What does that look like?

Ask the Lord to show you what it means to seek His kingdom. Commit to seeking Him first, above your needs and concerns. Trust in the Lord to provide and meet your needs. Thank Him for His divine provision.

What has God spoken to you about as you’ve read and prayed through these Scriptures?
