He Clothes the Grass

Matthew 6:30

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—you of little faith?

As humans, we are worriers. We worry about how we will pay our bills. We worry about providing for our families. We worry about a lot of things. Sometimes we worry and pray. Sometimes we just worry. But worry is the opposite of faith. Worry says that we don’t trust God to keep His Word. Worry says that maybe God isn’t big enough to meet our problems. Worry says that it all depends on us.

How silly! God is more than able to meet our needs. God is more than able to take care of things without our help. There is nothing too big for God to handle. Sometimes, however, it’s easier to trust Him with big thing than it is to trust Him with the little things. God cares enough about the details to make sure those are taken care of as well.

Jesus reminds us that God cared enough about the fields to make the wildflowers as their clothes. If God cares about details like this that don’t matter to most of us, how much do you think He cares about the details that matter to you? Where is your faith? In your own ability? Or in a big God who loves you unconditionally and is ready, willing, and able to provide for all the details of your life?

Father, I thank you that you love me. I thank you that you are El-Shaddai, our God who is more than enough. There is no aspect of my life too small for you to notice, and there is no aspect of my life too big for you to handle. You care about it all, and you are just waiting for me to bring my needs to you and receive by faith the things you have promised. I hand my cares to you today, Lord. Thank you for providing for all of my needs. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
