Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Matthew 6:25
Out here on the high plains, we are just barely into the daylight hours. And yet I have to wonder how many of us have already blown this morning's commandment from Jesus in this verse? Did the Worry Imagination Machine begin the day with a worrisome scenario manufactured with only the slightest provocation? If the powers that be in the world today produced an Artificial Intelligence that worried like we do they would laugh and then shut the thing off. The powers would join Wile E Coyote saying, "Well, back to the old drawing board." We are so bound up with our worries that if we find someone going about without a care in the world, we think them simple, naïve, perhaps even deficient in a mental way. And yet, that person would be in obedience to the command of Jesus and we... alas, we are the sinners in this. Therefore come to the Lord Jesus in prayer today and ask for His great help in living without worry.
Trust in our Lord Jesus!
