Text for the Day -- Luke 12:22-23, 28-31
----------
He 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 clothing. But if
God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and
tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe
you, you of little faith! And do not keep striving for what you are to
eat and what you are to drink, and do not keep worrying. For it is
the nations of the world that strive after all these things, and your
Father knows that you need them. Instead, strive for his kingdom, and
these things will be given to you as well."
Devotional
----------
God supplies what is needed for physical life. Yet, these things
often become the source of great anxiety for us and the main motive
for living our lives. But, as Jesus says, life is more than food and
the body is more than clothing. You are also a spiritual being,
related to God and God's work for the world. Strive for God's kingdom
and all these material needs will be supplied to you. In other words,
walk by faith in God's care for you.
Prayer
--------------
Keep my feet on the ground and my heart in your love, O Lord. Amen
