It's Raining, It's Pouring

So it's not a good day to look for unique shadows to shoot today...

It was exciting to see my last week's shadow shot made it into one of Harriet's collage spots for Shadow Shot Sunday #45! It's this photo of our garden sculpture on the deck (waiting to find its way back to the iris garden once we get the leaves cleaned off the plants).

My heart goes out to and my prayers go up for those in the Fargo, SD area, where the flooding is horrific. The melting snow is causing havoc again. We're to get snow this afternoon, and I hope it won't ruin the fragile forsythia blooms, peaking daffodils, blooming tulip and pear trees in our area.

God bless your weekend with rest and relaxation and meaningful worship.

Do Not Worry

Signs of spring!

This morning I read Matthew 6. Verses 25-34 are a powerful reminder that WORRY = faith in the enemy!

...Do not worry about your life, what you eat or drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin...

Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you ...

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

It's natural to worry (even though we say we don't!) because we're sinful beings. But Jesus wants us to remember that it's also sinful to lie awake or obsess about things over which we have no control. I'm guilty of that! Are you?

Thank God for the forgiveness He gives through Jesus, and for His promises of His constant presence (James 4:8), agape love (John 3:16), and His supplying of our needs (Matthew 7:7-8)!

Let's give our worries to our loving Lord. He is all-knowing and all-powerful. God wants only the best for His children. Let's walk hand in hand with Him today in trust.

Peace and joy in Jesus--
