Today's Scriptures:
AM: Psalm 89:1-18
PM: Psalm 89:19-52
OT: II Kings 17:24-41
NT: I Corinthians 7:25-31
GSPL: Matthew 6:25-34
Here's today's Scripture for discussion:
"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 important than food, and the body more important 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? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies 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, O 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
What is God saying to us through this passage?

The obvious answer is that we shouldn't worry. He says it over and over in this passage. But to me it talks more about trust. Trusting God, when i do not see how it is humanly possible to solve the problem. Its trusting God, when after i pay my tithe to only just enough money for my bills. What if an emergency comes up or I want to go to coffee with a youth kid?
I definitely believe that we need to be at a almost constant place where we are out of our comfort zone. Especially with money, If i find that i am not having to rely on God with money then i need to give more to Him (aka His Ministries) Just some things God has taught me and I am continually learning.
