A Good Reminder

I’m now 2 weeks into a new semester…my last semester at HCC!  I want to blog about the Passion Conference, but haven’t gotten around to it yet….stay tuned J
Last night, I had the opportunity to get together with a fabulous group of girls from church. We’re going to be studying Louie Giglio’s book The Air I Breathe, and I’m really excited. It also reminded me of where my focus should be. I want my focus to be totally and completely on Jesus...all the time, no matter what. I know, I know…easier said than done! A friend reminded me of these verses.  I have read them countless times, and you probably have to, but here they are again!
25. Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? 26. Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27. And which of you being anxious can add a single hour to his life? 28. And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin. 29. Yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? (31) Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘ What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink’? or ‘What shall we wear’? 32. For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you. 34. Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
~Matthew 6: 25-34 (ESV)
