A Series of Monthly Devotions

 

 

June 2008

Read:

Luke 12 v 22-34

Consider:

“Do not worry” is the heading in the NIV for this reading.

We all worry from time to time but we are asked in this passage to remember that "life is more than food and the body is more than clothes".

We are reminded not to worry about the trivialities in life because God will take care of them. The lilies do not ‘spin nor toil’ yet they are clothed in beauty more splendid than the finest robes worn by Solomon.

We are not to worry about where our next meal is coming from; God knows we require food to survive and He will surely provide it. It will not be more than we require, or less than we require, but an adequate sufficiency. All we have to do is trust in Him and it will be given us.

What a promise to be given! And all we need do is trust – wow; what an amazing God we have – truly, The King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

Our Lord God knows what you need to pray about. Lay your thoughts and desires before Him; seek his way forward for yourself.

Pray:

Lord, help me to lay all my concerns at your feet. Help me to commit everything to you in prayer. Help me to trust in you for all my needs and not to worry what tomorrow brings for you will supply all my physical and spiritual requirements.

 Amen.
