"Then He said to His disciples, “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; nor about the body, what you will put on." (Luke 12:22 NKJV)
My soul, this is yet another truth you must learn from my Master Jesus. "Stop worrying and fretting about life, food and cloth. Do not be anxious about the basics of life."
God needs to bring us into the place of rest from cares of life.
The secret to living an anxiety-free life is
“Yes, a person is a fool to store up earthly wealth but not have a rich relationship with God.” (Luke 12:21 NLT)
It is foolishness to make efforts to store up treasures for Self on earth. But pursuing a rich relationship with God will shield our hearts from the cares of life.
"So if you’re serious about living this new resurrection life with Christ, act like it. Pursue the things over which Christ presides. Don’t shuffle along, eyes to the ground, absorbed with the things right in front of you. Look up, and be alert to what is going on around Christ—that’s where the action is. See things from his perspective." (Colossians 3:1-2 MSG)
God needs to help us not to shuffle along in life, absorbed with happenings around us - looking for things that will please the Self in us. God needs to help us to look up and focus on Christ and everything that is happening around Him.
ACTION PLAN: Let us examine our train of thoughts. What are they focussing on?
PRAYER: Father, deliver me from the cares of life, help me to focus on Christ and everything around Him.
