Matthew 6 can be summarized in this way: don't give to be seen; don't pray to be seen; don't think repeating meaningless words impresses God; don't worship money, and don't worry. What is the unifying theme? Life is not about me.
We serve a God who knows us and knows our needs. We can't get his attention any more than we already have it. We can't lengthen our lives by playing God. We can't enhance our lives by impressing people. We just need to rest in Him.
Father, forgive me for often worrying about those things that only you can control, and for trying to impress people for my own sense of significance. May I simply rest in your sovereign care and honor you.
Matthew 6:32 NIV
For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
We serve a God who knows us and knows our needs. We can't get his attention any more than we already have it. We can't lengthen our lives by playing God. We can't enhance our lives by impressing people. We just need to rest in Him.
Father, forgive me for often worrying about those things that only you can control, and for trying to impress people for my own sense of significance. May I simply rest in your sovereign care and honor you.
