One question that you will ask anyone and not lack an answer is “what is your plan for life?” or rather, “what is your plan for tomorrow?” If many of the answers fall between: “I want to achieve this and that”, (anything that belongs to the world) or “I want to do this and that so that I will not be poor”, they are all wrong answers! Please do not get me wrong. I do not mean that it is not good to be ambitious, not at all, what I mean is; everything that anyone will ever need in this earth has already been taken care of!
The Bible says as you read from Luke 12:22-31, then Jesus said to the disciples, “and so I tell you not to worry about the food you need to stay alive or about the clothes you need for your body. Look at the crows, they do not sow seeds or gather a harvest; they do not have store rooms or barns, God feeds them; you are worth so much more than birds. It is God who clothes the wild-grass that is here today and gone tomorrow, won’t He be all the more sure to clothe you? How little faith you have! So, do not be upset, always concerned about what you will eat and drink, your Father knows that you need these things”.
Look at how amazing this is! God has relieved us of all worries of life. Jesus says that if He feeds the birds of the air and clothe the grass that is here today and gone tomorrow, how much more will He do to us, His most precious creation?
According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue (2 Peter 1:3). And if I just bring out the analogy of a small child; a small child does not worry about what he will eat or drink or clothes that he will wear.
The parent provides these things. There will be no single day that a small child will ask his or her parent what he or she will eat tomorrow. The parent knows that the child needs these things. Moreover, if a child asks for something, let’s say a toy, he or she will not go worrying whether the parent has the money; funny enough, when the parent arrives home in the evening, the child will run expecting to explore his or her new toy. This is because the child asked like David; David said, “I pray and
wait expectantly”.
