Jesus told His disciples not to worry about the things in our life, but He never told them to sit around expecting to get their needs met. Even the birds were out flying around finding what they needed to eat. They never sat in their nests expecting God to drop a worm down to them. We are expected to work hard and diligently, and listen to where God is directing us to go. If we just sit and expect God to take care of us we are being disobedient to His Will for our lives!!!
22 (then, to His disciples) This is why I keep telling you not to worry about anything in life—about what you’ll eat, about how you’ll clothe your body.
23 Life is more than food, and the body is more than fancy clothes.
24 Think about those crows flying over there: do they plant and harvest crops? Do they own silos or barns? Look at them fly. It looks like God is taking pretty good care of them, doesn’t it? Remember that you are more precious to God than birds! 25 Which one of you can add a single hour to your life or 18 inches to your height by worrying really hard?
26 If worry can’t change anything, why do you do it so much?
Luke 12:22-26 The Voice Bible.
