Anxiety is arguably the no.1 cause of ill-health in Australia today. Worry about finances, employment, illness, relationships, family, fashion, peer pressure etc. sap the joy of so many of us. So how should we handle our worries? Jesus uses two simple illustrations from everyday life, birds and flowers, to point us to the answer. Who cares for them? Of course, God does. And he cares even more for us! The question is, are we prepared to trust Him with our fears and worries? Are we truly seeking His kingdom and His righteousness above everything else? Getting this priority right is the key. May 2019 be a year when we worry less and rest more in the peace of God which transcends all human understanding.
Matthew 6:25-34
