Good morning Zebras,
Every moment spent worrying is a moment lost.
Matthew 6:25-33 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about
your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear.
Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than 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? “And why do you
worry about clothes? See how the lilies of 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
today 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 heavenly 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.
Remember the old V-8 commercial, where the person after
drinking some inferior beverage slaps their forehead and realizes they could
have had a V-8 instead?
That’s how it is with worry and prayer, after you waste
time worrying you want to hit yourself when you realize you could have been
praying instead because as James says the prayer of a righteous man is powerful
and effective.
I love you Zebras.
The world does not need any more people to worry, it has plenty of
those, it needs more righteous people to pray.
Love,
Jill
