Something To Think About!

Tuesday's Devotion (1-20-04)

"Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?" Luke 12:27-28 (KJV)

I wrote a poem once called, "Oh Me, Of Little Faith!" I think this is where I got the idea, for that title. The Lord, has done so much for us and we still have trouble believing in Him, for clothing, food and etc. My wife and I, have different times where one of us is correcting the other. She'll get upset over finances and I'll say, "Trust the Lord, for it, He always comes through every time and every time you still worry." then she'll say, "Why don't you take your own advice, with your spiritual warfare?" then I'll wish, I would've never opened my mouth. I guess we all have something, that we have a harder time believing for. Some people can't believe for their forgiveness, some can't believe for finances or etc. However, we need to realize that we can believe for one good thing from the Lord, just as much as we can for another. Nothing is too small or to great for the Lord. The Lord, takes care of all the small details of the world. He even clothes the grass! If God, will clothe the grass, how much more will He clothe you? That's an important question to ask yourself. If God, loves the grass that much, how much more does He love you? We need to always keep in mind, what the Lord, has and will do for us. Have you ever done something faithfully every day, like making dinner and when you decide to do it, a minute later than usual everyone jumps on you, "Are you going to make dinner?" If so, doesn't it hurt your feelings, that they'd even ask that? It's kind of a cut down, to ask if you're going to do something that you've done faithfully for the longest time. If you've faithfully cooked dinner for let's say forty years and then it hurt your feelings when someone asked, if you were going to do it, imagine how the Lord, feels. It must really hurt the Lord, when we can't trust Him, for the easiest things that He has done for eternity. I've never thought of things in this light, before. Maybe, it will help me more to believe when I think about it. This is something to think about! I hope today's devotion, will be a blessing to you.
