"People who don't know God and the way he works fuss over these things,
but you know both God and how he works. Steep your life in God-reality,
God-initiative, God-provisions. Don't worry about missing out. You'll
find all your everyday human concerns will be met." Matthew 6:32-33
(MSG)
Some say that they trust only in themselves. What do they
do when they are facing a deadly disease? Do they still trust in
themselves? Can they heal themselves? How do they react when they lose
their job? They may send resumes left and right, but what will they do
when nothing comes to fruition? Do they still believe only in
themselves? And if they trust only in themselves, why are they facing
fear?
If we put our trust solely in our Heavenly Father, however,
we have nothing to worry about. Our Father knows what we need, and He
will provide. We will find all our everyday human concerns met.
We had arrived to our destination: A welcoming bed and breakfast near
Rothenburg, Germany with its own restaurant. The chef showed us our
room: 2 bedrooms, one for my son and the other one for my wife and
myself. Both rooms were beautiful, and both were over the restaurant.
But it was all literally too good to be true: "It could be quite noisy
tonight," stated the host. "Probably until two in the morning. Is that
okay?"
My wife's face fell: "Noisy? Until two in the morning?"
"Today is our festival, and there will be a lot of noise in the
restaurant."
I glanced at my wife, knowing she wouldn't be able
to sleep at all. What would we do?
I guess the host read the
concern on my face. "I can refer you to another Bed and Breakfast near
here where it will be quiet," he suggested. "Would that be OK?"
We agreed and he made the call for our reservation.
Before we
left, the host said, "Don't worry. I will pay for your room. It's my
responsibility."
I couldn't believe this. In fact, given that he
was speaking in broken English, we were sure we had heard wrong, and the
following morning, we were ready to pay for our room. "It isn't
necessary," explained our hostess from the new bed and breakfast. "It is
already paid."
Wow! Nowhere had we been treated like such
royalty. But then, our Father takes care of us after all!
Why
worry when can we place trust solely in our Father?
Who do you
trust?
