Are you worried today?

Another year has arrived, maybe we are all still adjusting for this transition. We don't know what this year may bring and as humans we get anxious and worried about new and uncertain things, but we can be assured and secured in God's word.

In Luke 12:27 says “Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these."

There is no point in worrying about food to eat, clothes to wear, no good reason to panic about starvation, nakedness or even death. It does not say, we don't have to work to eat or clothed but it means it is useless to use or invest our energy into fear or anxiety about such things.

"The flowers do not work hard to decorate the grass; God does all the work."

There are more important uses of our energy than worrying. Use them to trust God, He takes care of all of His creations and those who belongs to Him.

Roots grows first.
"The principle of growing down before growing up."

The Parable of the Sower described in Matthew 13:20-21 represents a person who receives the message of God's kingdom with immediate, heartfelt joy; this initial enthusiasm allows the "seed" (the Word) to sprout quickly. However, this individual is likened to the rocky ground because their faith has no deep root or lasting foundation; the message never penetrates the hard rock beneath the surface layer of emotion. So, their commitment is temporary, and when the inevitable tests of life—described as trouble or persecution—arise specifically because of their faith, the initial joy cannot sustain them, causing them to quickly fall away and abandon the message. This illustrates a shallow faith that thrives in good times but lacks the necessary depth to endure hardship.

Just because progress isn't visible doesn't mean it isn't happening.
Constant nurturing is required below the surface before bloom appears, the inner-working make us who we are. Deep roots allow us to remain unshaken.

God is carrying us well ☺️

Isaiah 46:4
"Even to your old age and gray hairs
I am he, I am he who will sustain you.
I have made you and I will carry you;
I will sustain you and I will rescue you."
