Matthew 10:24-42
Dear RTB’ers,
It’s February! Already…? I’m thankful to say goodbye to January. We’ve been in one of the worst cold, snow conditions that I can remember in the past many years. Praying for a better February and an early Spring!!
Anxiety. It’s not only in the Sermon on the Mount where Jesus talks about anxiety: Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows. (vv. 29-31) Jesus speaks the word “fear” four times in this one paragraph, concerning both physical and spiritual challenges, but also providing an emotional base for us as believers. There is no part for anxiety or worry in our lives. Jesus is fully aware of all that we are facing. Live with it. Pray, asking for wisdom, and always join Him in His prayer at Gethsemane, “Not My will, but Your will be done.” Pray and wait. Wait and pray.
Blessings!
Fred
