And why do you worry about your clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Matthew 6:28-34
As I think back on my life, you know what I see? Never have I been short of clothing. Clean clothing maybe. But never not at all. Never have I been without food. For a few hours, yes. Not able to eat exactly what I would have liked, yes. But never not at all. That's a lot of day. A lot of days God has provided for me.
First of all, thanks God.
Second of all, help me remember when I lose faith.
Third of all, allow me to help you provide these basic needs to my brothers and sisters in the world.
Amen
