Psalm 23
I have all that I need.
Why do we worry?
I have a house to live in, a family that loves me, and a job that I enjoy! But worrying takes up most of my time. I worry about money, future plans, and more.
“The lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need.”
I can read this all day but I don’t think I’ve ever meant it. That probably happens a lot with the Bible. We read it but do we apply it?
Psalm 23 goes on to say “he leads me beside still waters, he restores my soul”.
When we are shaken by worries of this life, this verse reassures us we can find steadiness in Jesus! Only He restores us and puts all our worries at ease if only we give them over to Him.
How do we do that? Saying 'just give it to Him' is easy. Maybe we read the verse till we believe it! We pray scripture. We fast. We stop trying to come up with our own ways to solve the problem. We let go of something that we are unwilling to surrender. A situation can vary between days or each other, but drawing as close to Jesus as much as we can is the move.
God has always provided for me! His way has always proven to be the best way.
Matthew 6:26 says “Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are?”
God has made us in His image and highly values us!
So why do we doubt He will take care of us?
