I know you are looking toward the things you are in need of. Looking for all those things you want or think you need. You may be completely innocent, not looking for anything for your flesh. But just the basic needs of life. Just enough to get you by. You only want what the Lord has for you. Many times it is hard to know exactly what He is doing, what His purposes are, or why you must wait for them.
Remember, the Lord will always provide for His children exactly what they need in His perfect time. It might be hard and tough to endure while you wait for it, this is true. But, it is guaranteed that the Lord is using every situation for your good. He is teaching you, strengthening you, and making you grow. The real purpose is to make you more like Him.
Don’t worry or be anxious about any of those things. He knows what you need. “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added to you.” Look forward to what is most important. To do God’s will. He will provide everything that is needed for your progress along the way.
Walk in His ways, and seek those things in your day-to-day life that will bring pleasure to Him. Those things that make Him smile when He looks down upon you and sees His faithful servant.
Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?
And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Matthew 6:25-33
Amen!
