“Behold, the Lord God will come with might, and His arm will rule for Him. Behold, His reward is with Him, and His recompense

“Thus says the Lord: ‘Cursed [with great evil] is the strong man {or woman} who trusts in and relies on frail man, making weak [human]

flesh his arm, and whose mind and heart turn aside from the Lord. For he {or she} shall be like a shrub or a person naked and

destitute in the desert; and he {or she} shall not see any good come, but shall dwell in the parched places in the wilderness,

in an uninhabited salt land. [Most] blessed is the man {or woman} who believes in, trusts in, and relies on the Lord,

and whose hope and confidence the Lord is. For he {or she} shall be like a tree planted by the waters that spreads out its roots by the river; and it shall not see and fear when heat comes; but its leaf shall be green. It shall not be anxious and full

of care in the year of drought, nor shall it cease yielding fruit’.”(Jeremiah 17:5-8)

“No one can serve two masters; for either he {or she} will hate the one and love the other, or he {or she} will stand by and be devoted to the one and despise and be against the other. You cannot serve

God and mammon (deceitful riches, money, possessions, or whatever is trusted in). Therefore, I tell you, stop being perpetually uneasy

(anxious and worried) about your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink; or about your body, what you shall put on. Is not life greater [in quality] than food, and the body [far above and more

excellent] than clothing? Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father

keeps feeding them. Are you not worth much more than they? And who of you, by worrying and being anxious can add one unit of

measure (cubit) to his stature or to the span of his life? And why should you be anxious about clothes? Consider the lilies of the field and learn thoroughly how they grow; they neither toil nor spin. Yet I tell you, even Solomon, in all his magnificence (excellence, dignity,

and grace) was not arrayed like one of these (1 Kings 10:4-7). But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and green

and tomorrow is tossed into the furnace, will He not much more surely clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore, do not worry and be anxious, saying, ‘What are we going to have to eat? or, What are we going to have to drink? or, What are we going to have to wear?

For the Gentiles (heathen) wish for and crave and diligently seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows well that you need

them all. But seek (aim at and strive after), first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides. So do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own. Sufficient for each day is its own trouble”

“Keep on asking and it will be given to you; keep on seeking and you will find; keep on knocking [reverently] and [the door] will be

opened to you. For everyone who keeps on asking receives; and he who keeps on seeking finds; and to him who keeps on knocking, [the

door] will be opened.”(Matthew 7:7-8)

“Give, and [gifts] will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will they pour into [the pouch

formed by] the bosom [of your robe and used as a bag]. For with the measure you deal out [with the measure you use when you confer

benefits on others], it will be measured back to you.”(Luke 6:38)

<<<>>>

“And He said to them, ‘When I sent you out with no purse or [provision] bag or sandals, did you lack anything?’ They answered,

‘Nothing!’”(Luke 22:35)

“And my God will liberally supply (fill to the full) your every need according

to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”(Philippians 4:19)

<<<>>>

“Let your character or moral disposition be free from love of money [including greed, avarice, lust, and craving for earthly possessions] and be satisfied with your present [circumstances and with what you have]; for He [God] Himself has said, ‘I will, not in any way fail you, nor give you up, nor leave you without support. [I will] not, [I will]

not, in any degree, leave you helpless, nor forsake, nor let [you] down (relax My hold on you)! [Assuredly not!]’. So we take comfort and are encouraged and confidently and boldly say, ‘The Lord is my Helper; I will not be seized with alarm [I will not fear or dread or be

terrified]. What can man do to me?”(Hebrews 13:5-6)

What I say about it…10 | P a g e

Lord, I thank You that I don’t have to worry about what I will eat, drink or wear or

even how I will pay my bills, because I know that You care about me. I know that

You can, and will, take better care of me than I ever could of myself. As long as I

continue to trust in You, trust Your love for me, and to stand on the promises

I find in Your Word, everything will be as it should be. I know this to be true

because You said so! Thank You for your faithful provision, Lord.

AMEN (so be it)! Thank You, Lord!

they have become adults and have children of their own. You have proven to

me over and over again that there is no safer place for them and their children,

that You are not a man that You should lie, neither the son of man that

You would even have to change Your mind about anything You’ve said (Numbers 23:19). So based on that promise, I will continue

to trust You with the jewels of my heart. AMEN (so be it) and thank You, Lord!
