Matthew 6:31 – “Therefore do not worry and be anxious, saying, what are we going to have to eat? Or, what are we going to have to drink? or, what are we going to have to wear?”  Amplified

As I read, prayed, and pondered the Word, Matthew 6 was my starting point. The incredible Love of God for us is seen in what we call the Lord’s Prayer.

The subsequent warning must be embraced.   Forgiveness is the Key that unlocks, and failure to genuinely forgive locks the door to God’s blessings.  It has eternal consequences and Must Be from the heart.  Forever put in the past – FOREVER!

One Translation renders Matthew 6:31, “forsake your worries!” 

Matthew 6:33-34 –“ But above all, pursue his kingdom and righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. ³⁴ So then, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own.”

God cares so deeply that He takes notice of Everything!  Jesus made that powerfully clear in Matthew 10.  He cautioned me about fear.  In Matthew 10:29, He revealed that two sparrows could be bought for one copper coin.  That is cheap, but not even one little bird falls from the nest without the Father noticing it.  If that is true, and it is, then we have greater value to God than a flock of sparrows.  Therefore, how much sense does it make to fear or worry?   Remember, God has taken care of it!

The Key that liberates is found in Matthew 10:39 – if we try to be the captains of our ship and masters of our fate, we fail.  But if we die to self and give it All to God, we live.   “Those who cling to their lives will give up true life.  But those who let go of their lives for My sake and surrender it ALL to Me will discover TRUE LIFE!”

When we see what God has provided and promises, how could anything but Total Surrender make any sense?  If we give Him our Entire Life, He will give us His.  In Him is Life Abundant!  What is better – our way or His?  It is time to Give It All to Jesus!  He is our Victory IF we give Him control.

Have a fantastic day in Jesus and ‘Forsake Your Worries!”  Give them all to Jesus!
