I hope your heart reflects the sunshine of today, leaving you feeling light and happy, with more than enough to sustain you. If that’s not the case, take a deep breath and give it some thought.
Wednesdays can often feel hectic as you come to grips with the many responsibilities you’ve taken on in this little life of yours. Your shoulders may feel heavy, and your mind may be racing with thoughts and cares.
Right now, I invite you to slow down and consider the fields, trees, wildflowers, and birds around you. They are thriving, and the sounds outside my window tell me so: chirp, chirp! Why are they just fine while we rush about?
Whoever
cares for them must be pretty dependable, able, and willing. Remember, my friends, how much more precious we are than leaves, bark, and petals.
Take a moment to reflect on where your simple trust lies. You are loved and cared for. I hope this little pause in your week encourages your heart, giving you
strength to be still and know you are worth far, far more.
Until next time,
Mrs.
Farmer Jones
P.S.: Here’s where I find the foundation for such hope: Matthew 6: 25-34 (NLT)
25 That is why I tell you not to worry about
everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are? 27 Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? 28 “And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing, 29
yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. 30 And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?31 “So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ 32 These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. 33 Seek the Kingdom of God above all else,
and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.34 “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.
