Worry can come on so quickly! Creep up in the night. Fog the brain. Color the day. Sometimes there seems no rhyme or reason why today brought a terrible\u00a0wrestling with trust <\/i>and a\u00a0battle of the will.<\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cIf God gives such attention to the appearance of wildflowers\u2014most of which are NEVER EVEN SEEN\u2014don\u2019t you think He\u2019ll attend to you, take pride in you, do His best for you?”\u00a0<\/b><\/i>Matthew 6:30-33<\/p>\n

Yet, Jesus said simple wildflowers are there to remind us… like small interruptions and tiny surprises in our path… “Look, GOD<\/em>‘s near.\u00a0He cares.”<\/i><\/p>\n

“What I\u2019m trying to do here is to get you to relax, to not be so preoccupied with getting, so you can respond to God\u2019s giving.”<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Stop. Listen. Notice. Believe. Because He can be trusted. Then wait and see.
\u00a0“People who don\u2019t know God and the way He works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how He works.”\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I think GOD longs to show us His Glory! I think He waits for the opportunity to have our full attention. I think He’s thrilled when we truly and humbly want to know more of Him and about Him.<\/p>\n

“Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don\u2019t worry about missing out.”\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

It won’t be such a big hairy deal just because you don’t have all the answers, or even a strategy for working it out.\u00a0<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll find all your everyday human concerns will be met.\u201d\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

There’s rest… and peace… and trust in the midst.<\/p>\n
