Trusting That The Sun Will Rise

My Utmost For His Highest

“If God so clothes the grass of the field…, will He not much more clothe you…?” —Matthew 6:30
“A simple statement of Jesus is always a puzzle to us because we will not be simple. How can we maintain the simplicity of Jesus so that we may understand Him? By receiving His Spirit, recognizing and relying on Him, and obeying Him as He brings us the truth of His Word, life will become amazingly simple. […] We have allowed “the cares of this world” to enter in (Matthew 13:22), while forgetting the “much more” of our heavenly Father. “Look at the birds of the air…” (Matthew 6:26). Their function is to obey the instincts God placed within them, and God watches over them. Jesus said that if you have the right relationship with Him and will obey His Spirit within you, then God will care for your “feathers” too. “Consider the lilies of the field…” (Matthew 6:28). They grow where they are planted. Many of us refuse to grow where God plants us. […] Are we experiencing the “much more” He promised? If we are not, it is because we are not obeying the life God has given us and have cluttered our minds with confusing thoughts and worries. […] Consecration is the act of continually separating myself from everything except that which God has appointed me to do. […] Am I continually separating myself and looking to God every day of my life?” CHAMBERS

When you lay your head down to sleep at night, do you worry about whether or not the sun is going to rise in the morning? Do you toss and turn because of your uncertainty? No.  You don’t give it a thought.  God has set the planets and stars in place and in motion.  The sun will rise every morning because the earth is in its orbit around the sun.  All of the world depends on that not changing.  So it is with the sovereignty of God in your life.  God has set that in place as well.  Man is the capstone of God’s creation.  So Jesus asks, “Why do you worry about your life?”  God loves you with an everlasting love.  Jesus was walking the earth because of that love (John 3:16).  Jesus asked the disciples “Where is your faith?” If you can rest in confidence that the sun will rise … why can’t you rest in the confidence that God has his best in mind for you?

Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
