Matthew 6:25-29
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? 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? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?  "And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.
Aren't people always worrying about life? We used to have a few pet rabbits, both males and females. One day, a female rabbit went into labor, and I was more nervous than the rabbit and was filled with anxiety. Around that time I was supposed to go away for a conference for three days; I was so afraid that the mother rabbit wouldn't I know how to feed the baby that I was thinking about bringing the baby rabbit with me. Right before mother rabbit gave birth to her baby, she started plugging out her hair and made a nest; after the baby was born, she plugged out more of her hair to make a blanket for the baby, and it looked really comfortable. I truly witnessed the wonder of God's creation! If even a rabbit knows how to take care of its child, wouldn't our Heavenly Father know how to take care of us?
When we cry out and pray to our Heavenly Father, we must believe that he will provide for us and protect us. We also need to acknowledge our position as children of God. As His children, we must know that we need receive our Father's guidance and discipline. As all parents would understand, obedience is one of the most essential obligations of children. When you teach your children, sometimes it's hard to explain everything to them. All you can do is to ask them to obey you, because it's good for them. In the same way, when our Heaven Father is guiding us with his perfect will, He doesn't need to explain everything to us, and He doesn't need to answer all our questions. All He asks is that we obey Him and believe that he will provide for us. May God's Spirit help us believe that we have a loving Heavenly Father in our daily life. He knows all our needs and He will provide for us according to His wonderful will. Are you willing to submit to Him today so that you may enjoy peace and joy that comes with your submission?
Pray with Pastor Tong
Lord, please bless all the brothers and sisters, especially those who are bound by worries in their heart and mind. In the victorious name of Jesus I rebuke the spirit of worries; let us submit our lives to out almighty Heavenly Father, and we will receive peace and joy as long as we trust in Him. I thank you and I pray in the victorious name of Jesus, amen!
