RESTORATION TODAY
THURSDAY 2ND MARCH 2017
BY PASTOR DR. G.O. OLUTOLA JP.
THEME: DON'T BE ANXIOUS FOR TOMORROW [2].
Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? Or, What shall we drink? Or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. Matthew 6: 31 ? 32.
For us as believers, worry is needless because of God's bounty, senseless because of God?s promise to provide, useless because of our inability to do anything, and faithless because by doing so we put ourselves in the same category as an unbeliever.
People without God are consumed with seeking material gratification because they are ignorant of God's supply and can't claim His promise to provide. Instead looking to God, they anxiously try to meet their needs on their own. But for a Christian to be preoccupied with material possessions and worry about the basics of life is a serious sin and uncharacteristic of his Christian faith.
The Christian faith says that God will supply all your needs and that you can trust Him (Philippians 4: 19). To worry about your food or your physical welfare or your clothing is to have a worldly mind. You should place everything in your life in the context of your faith every trial, every anticipation of the future, and every present reality. Besides, your heavenly Father knows your needs (Matthew 6: 32).
If He knows your life and your needs, all you need to know is that He cares. And if He knows and cares, there's no need for you to worry about anything. Your Heavenly Father has all the resources and love to provide for you.
ACTION POINTS
