Sweat It Not!

22 Then, turning to his disciples, Jesus said, “That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food to eat or enough clothes to wear. 23 For life is more than food, and your body more than clothing. 24 Look at the ravens. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for God feeds them. And you are far more valuable to him than any birds! 25 Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? 26 And if worry can’t accomplish a little thing like that, what’s the use of worrying over bigger things? (Luke 12:22-26)

Like many seminarians before us, the guys in my class created our own list of "passage" from the book of Hezekiah. (Hezekiah was a king. He was not a prophet and did not write a book in the Bible.) 

One of our favorite "passages" was "Sweat It Not!" In other words, don't worry about the little things or the things that are out of our control. Isn't that what Jesus is saying to us in these words today. Worrying doesn't help. Trusting God does. So "Sweat It Not!"

If you missed my post yesterday, you are not alone. I was asked to teach the 3rd grade class while Mrs. Bierlein was out of town for her Grandfather's funeral. Our prayers are with her and her family. May God give them the hope, comfort and peace that comes from know Jesus' victory over sin and death to give us forgiveness and eternal life.
