WHO CAN YOU TRUST?

Therefore do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. (Matthew 6:31, 32) NKJV.                     

Let us trust God to care for us! This was the life that Jesus lived.

He would not even make stones into bread; nor eat until His Father bade Him and sent the angels to minister to Him. He speaks out of His heart when He bids us to trust our Father's care.

It is better to trust in God than to accumulate riches. The moth and rust destroy, thieves steal, and all earthly goods are perishable and precarious. How many have placed their savings in stocks and shares, in banks and companies, and have lost every penny! While others who have been unable to save and have lived to help their fellow-men, have found that God has made provision for them and carried them even in their old age.  Even to your old age, I am He, And even to gray hairs I will carry you! I have made, and I will bear; Even I will carry, and will deliver you. (Isaiah 46:4) NKJV.

Trust in God gives clearness of vision. When we are thinking partly of doing God's work in the world, and partly of lining our own nest, we are in the condition of the man whose eyes do not look in the same direction. There is a squint in our inner vision. We are endeavoring to serve two masters, and our judgment is therefore distorted. Who has not often experienced this? You have tried to determine God's will, or to form a right judgment about your life, but constantly your perception of duty has been obscured by the thought that, if you decided in a certain direction, you would interfere with your interests in another. Your eye has not been single, and you have walked in darkness. When, however, you feel so absorbed in God's interests that you are indifferent to your own, all becomes clear, and you leave Him to care for all results. "Mind my business," said Queen Elizabeth to one of her ambassadors, "and I will look after yours."  Our heavenly Father is telling us the same thing!

Let’s not think that God is ungenerous and penny-pinching in His gifts. He gives fish as well as bread when He feeds the crowds; colors as well as leaves when He clothes the flowers. You have been adopted into His Family, and may call Him "Abba, Father."  For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, "Abba, Father."  (Romans 8:15) NKJV.  Surely this act of grace shows a special love on His part. Would He have taken such care of the spiritual, and have none nothing for the physical? The ungodly may worry about their maintenance; but a child of God may be sure that His needs will be supplied.  And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.  (Philippines 4:19) NKJV

PRAYER

You are our portion, our God, our Father. You are more than father and mother to those who trust You. You love us with a tender pity that never fails or wearies. Surround us with Your guardian care, and realize in us Your highest purposes. In Jesus name we pray, AMEN.
