Devotion 9/27, Seek Him First
Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
Matthew 6:33
Emotional baggage can be heavy, can’t it? Whatever you might be stressing about, remember that God knows, God cares, and God loves you —and by his grace he will carry you. With God looking after us, what do have to worry about? Jesus was pretty clear as he taught about life and our worries. I think he was saying, in effect, “Don’t sweat the small stuff. Pay attention to what is really important. When you put your focus on me and trust me, the rest will come together. I will be enough for you.”
Whatever you might be stressing about, remember that God knows, God cares, and God loves you —and by his grace he will carry you.
“Be still and know that I am God”, Psalm 46:10.
The verse can be interpreted as a reminder that people can rely on God even during chaotic times.
Thank you, God, that I don’t need to worry because you have all the details in your hands. Thank you that you love me and know the plans you have for me. Help me to put down the day’s anxiety for the peace you give freely. Amen.
