*Don’t Overthink It*
How much time do we spend thinking about what to eat, or worrying about what to wear? Do we obsess over having—or being—enough?
While there’s nothing wrong with meal planning for the weeks ahead or creating a monthly budget, Jesus explains that worrying doesn’t help:
*“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?” Matthew 6:25*
Jesus never said not to think about your basic needs—He said not to worry about them.
God knows what we need before we do. God knows our prayers before we pray them.
Recognizing our physical needs can remind us of our spiritual needs—an invitation to trust our ultimate Provider.
Later in the same chapter, Jesus reminds His disciples that if God provides for the birds and the flowers, He will provide for His people that much more. Then He adds, *“But seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” (Matthew 6:33)*
Life is more than the food we eat, the drinks we consume, and the clothes we wear. In fact, Jesus is life. He is *“The Way, The Truth, and The Life,” to be exact. (John 14:6*
So, let’s seek Him first. Let’s do the work entrusted to us while trusting in Him for provision. And let’s not waste another second overthinking it.
*A Prayer For Trust*
Father God, You already know what we need—and even what we want. And even though life isn't perfect, we believe that You are enough for us. Your provision is enough for us. Your love is enough for us. Your grace is enough for us. So today, we surrender our worries to You. Help us to remember that You are at work in the details. In Jesus’ Mighty Name, Amen.
*Blessings*
