I Shall Not Want

You may already know about my love for Matthew 6 in the Christian Bible. In fact, I’m writing a devotional on this very chapter. More news with that to follow. 🙂

But, one part of the chapter is really hard to believe for me. I’m just going to be honest.

But, that stops today. The word of God is truth. ALL of it. So I will believe every word of it moving forward from this moment.

Here’s what I mean…

When it comes to knowing that God will provide my every need, I have some doubts.

And, I shouldn’t.

But, my flesh is scared. However, my Spirit is strong. And, in Matthew 6, when Jesus says:

²⁵ “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? ²⁶ 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? ²⁷ Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?

I must trust what He says.

Today, I will not worry anymore. I will no longer let the enemy scare me and bring me down.

I will forever walk in the love and trust of Jesus Christ.

I leave you with the words from the 23rd Psalm. What do you think about them? How does it make you feel that Jesus is our Good Shepherd supplying our every need?

Psalm 23

A psalm of David.

¹ The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
²     He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
³     he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
    for his name’s sake.
⁴ Even though I walk
    through the darkest valley,^[a]
I will fear no evil,
    for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
    they comfort me.

⁵ You prepare a table before me
    in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
    my cup overflows.
⁶ Surely your goodness and love will follow me
    all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
    forever.
