The greatest Rabbi once said, don't worry about tomorrow; he pointed out the birds and lilies of the valley. Not one bird sows, nor reaps and stores food in barns for tomorrow. The lilies never toil or spin, yet their beauty's uncontested. Then the wise Rabbi taught not to be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for the day is its own trouble.
Driving to school today, I found myself worrying, anxious, and perplexed about my future. What am I going to do with my life, will I succeed...will I fail...I almost felt this almost physical burden form internally...as I battled with myself, and reasoned with God. A most comforting and convenient instance came to mind. Christ teaching in the Gospel of Matthew (ch. 6) not to worry about tomorrow. After all are we guaranteed tomorrow? Let it worry about itself. However, he doesn't leave us at just don't worry, but he tell us to focus our hearts on the Kingdom of Heaven. A Kingdom that will not perish as the birds, wither like the lilies, but will be our reward for eternity.
Such a good reminder amidst chaos :) God is faithful to tend his flock. All we have to do is live and walk in His grace, seeking first His kingdom above all else and God is faithful to take care of the rest :) I'm glad God brought that to your mind :)
