do not worry

These verses seem to keep coming to mind over the last few weeks, so I might as well share them.

"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:25-34


I haven't been worrying so much any more. That's been a struggle for me in the past. These verses keep coming to mind because I have been in complete awe of creation recently. I don't know if anyone saw the moon last night, but OH MY GOODNESS. Our Creator, the God of the Universe, created THAT and HE LOVES & CARES ABOUT US. It's mind-blowing. (I can't dwell on it too long because my mind starts to hurt when I try to fathom something that huge.)


My favorite spot in Tulsa right now is 41st street between Lewis and Victor.


This is not always my favorite spot, just my current favorite. The foliage is gorgeous and the trees create a canopy over the road.


I have the wonderful privilege of driving this stretch of road 5 days a week on my way to work.

  1. OOOH WOW AMEN! YES! I agree.
    When we look at creation we should ask... What is man that thou art mindful of him?
    Enjoyed reading friend.
