--Encourage One Another, in Jesus ~

--WHERE WE ARE ~~

~~"Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, all all these things will be given to you as well."
---(Matthew 6:33)

~~I took the day off from work to experience some much-needed silence and solitude. I had much to be thankful for, but internally I was struggling with something I wanted to talk to God about.

While sitting on a park bench overlooking a pond, I noticed a robin searching for food. As I watched it yank at a worm, I was reminded of Matthew 6 verse 26 ="Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?"

I sensed God telling me He would provide what I need as I seek His kingdom each day (v.33). I don't need to worry or work in order to bring it about. I'm to faithfully obey Him, trust Him, and rest in His power to bring about what I cannot.

Worry won't add to my life; it will only take away from it (v.27). After all, my heavenly Father knows exactly what I need.~
