Our Father cares for you. He will not leave you. He places Holy Spirit in you to comfort and guide you all the days of your life here on earth. He will deliver you safely home!
Faith allows Him to work in your life!
Luke 12:24-28
25 And which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? 26 If you then are not able to do the least, why are you anxious for the rest? 27 Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 28 If then God so clothes the grass, which today is in the field and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith?
Jesus repeats a comparison He made earlier. If God takes care of the birds, He surely will provide for His people. Anxiety accomplishes nothing. Jesus uses this in reference to the disciples when they doubt God’s providence. Faithlife Bible.
Jesus describes God’s care of ravens, unclean creatures according to Jewish law and among the least respected of birds. Yet God even cares for them. How much more value are you, says Jesus, pointing out that God will surely care for the disciple as well. It is uncertain whether Jesus is saying through His rhetorical question that worry cannot add to one’s physical height or that worry cannot add to one’s life span. In fact, worry can sometimes shorten life. What is clear is that worry is utterly useless and shows a lack of faith in God’s plan for our lives. Even the wealthy King Solomon did not clothe himself as God has clothed the lilies. The illustration of grass indicates that God cares enough to provide beauty for the parts of His creation that have a short life. Why should we worry if God takes such care of even the smallest blade of grass? The Lord knows our problems and will provide us with what we need. God will provide. Our first priority should be doing the will of God. NKJ Bible.
