Work Together With God To Bring Forth His Purpose And His Will (I)
Scripture: Matthew 6:26
In Matthew 6:26 Jesus apparently is building on the theme He set in Matthew 5:45 because
He says, “‘Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet
your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?’” Jesus is dealing
with the issue of provision, wealth, and what we set our hearts on in life. He is suggesting that
if we look at nature we can see the hand of God and His care for the creation. We can see His
hand of provision or we can see God has sovereignly taken care of His creation – whether
they are believers or whether they are unbelievers. Is this to be our view of God – the God of
sovereignty and whatever will be will be, we just have to walk things out on a daily basis? Is
this the God of the Bible? Is this the God we serve in priesthood? Are we correctly
interpreting these passages?
Prayer
Pray that the Lord will get you involved daily with Him in the lead on how to
shape your life, family, state, nation, and the earth. Other religions are fatalistic
and so the reason they behave the way they behave. “They believe what will be
will be.”
