Do Not Worry About Your Life

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


Today we got rain, lightning and even hail!

What a surprise after an 81 degree morning in San Diego.

Abby and I skipped our swim date since it was lightning frequently at our house and on my way home from work.

It's still raining several hours later.

This is probably the most rain we've gotten all year.

We didn't even have a chance to bring in our Plumeria plants.

Hopefully they'll survive the weather.

God tells us not to worry.

In fact, He commands it.

One of my coworkers had heart palpitations two weeks ago.

His cardiologist said his heart was fine, but it might have due to stress.

He had given up caffeinated coffee, but was told he could have 2-3 cups per day.

That was wonderful news.

But finding ways to destress will now be the challenge.

God gives us those coping skills in His Word.

Thank You, Lord!

The Lord Answered Me

Out of my distress I called on the Lord; the Lord answered me and set me free. — Psalm 118:5

When I am in distress, I sometimes forget to call on God.

I try everything else first.

Then, almost as a last resort, I ask for God's help and guidance.

What's wrong with this picture?

God always answers me.

He sets me free from my worry and doubt.

So why can't I remember to call on Him first?

Heal me Lord, help my unbelief.
