Higher Everyday SUNDAY, MARCH 23, 2014 AMAZING BIRDS Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, ... yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? (Matthew 6:26) One health condition that is silently claiming so many lives today is stress. It has been rightly called the invisible disease or silent killer. We are all exposed to it in certain degrees. A mild dose of it may do no harm and, indeed, may help us face challenges. But negative stress does a lot of havoc to us. Often, stress stems from worry and anxiety, especially, about the future. Our Lord Jesus Christ taught a significant lesson on this subject. Take therefore no thought for the morrow.... He said. In modern language, have no anxiety for the future. Yes, plan and prepare well, but have no anxiety. Todays text exposes the foolishness of being anxious for our needs. Christ draws our attention to the birds which do not labour as we do but entirely depend on God for their daily needs, and yet are never disappointed. If you are tempted to get anxious about emerging challenges, why not trust your heavenly Father who takes care of the birds. He will take care of you. Before God, you are better than birds. Challenge: Never put a question mark on Gods ability and availability. Prayer: Father, Give me faith to trust you. Further Reading: Matthew 6: 26-34
