Don't Worry, Baby Kaylee, About Your Life
Matthew 6:27, 34 (ESV)
"And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his life span? ... Therefore, do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble."
Realized something tonight:
Kaylee cries... A LOT. Well, I knew that already. But that isn't what I learned. I continue.
She seems like her little self is always freaking out -- FEED ME!!! CHANGE ME!!!! etc. But almost as if she doubts Kacey's and my ability or faithfulness to take care of her. "Kaylee! I got this, girl! We got this. Chill."
Then I wondered -- Is this what I sound like to God when I am not only asking for provision but WORRYING about it? As if he won't take care of us? And God in his Word says, "Ryan and Kacey -- I've got this. Chill." But we keep stressing and worrying "No! No! No! No! No! You don't! I'm going to DIIIIEEEEEE!!!!!" And yet, our Triune God is ever faithful to provide for our needs. Kaylee, yes, I will clothe you and feed you. God, likewise, clothes and feeds the lilies and the birds of the field.
He will provide for me, and for you who are in the faith. He saves his own, he provides for his own, and he will protect his own for the day of his glorious return.
