Deuteronomy 9 & 10, Luke 12: 1-34, Psalm 60: 1-4
Luke 12: 29-31 (ESV)
“And do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to
drink, nor be worried. For all the nations of the world seek after these
things, and your Father knows that you need them. Instead, seek his kingdom,
and these things will be added to you.”
In verses 29 through 31 from Luke 12, Jesus again reminds us
to not seek the things of the world or be worried about them. God knows that
these things are needed by everyone on earth. Jesus tells us our priority should
always be to seek him first, and have trust that God will provide us with the
things we need to live on earth. It is such an act of faith to rely completely
on God for our needs especially in these uncertain times when there is so much turmoil
in the financial markets. But if we dwell in God’s presence with our prayers
and by reading his word every day, we will strengthen our trust in God. Our
Bible readings will be a constant reminder of God’s faithfulness to his people,
and how he has always come through for them. If we dwell in God’s presence daily,
we will learn not to worry and to always trust in God’s plan no matter what is
happening in our life. We might not always understand God’s plan, but we need to
trust that God is always caring like a shepherd cares for his sheep.
