TODAY’S DAILY DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE
The only source of true security is faith in God
In Matthew chapter 6, as Jesus is explaining what God is like to his disciples, Jesus makes an effort to steer them away from worrying about money. There is no need for any of the animals, plants, or plants themselves to work for a wage because God takes care of them all. According to Jesus, we ought to have faith that God will do the same for us. The only source of true security is faith in God, not financial success.
When you have faith that God is watching out for you, your anxiety level regarding finances will go down. Praying prayers of thanksgiving before meals is something that Christians have done throughout history as a way to keep in mind that God is the one who provides for them.
Try this: before you take a bite of food, take a moment to reflect and thank God, either in your head or out loud: “Thank you God for giving me this food.” You will begin to have faith that God will provide for you in the future as you consistently remind yourself that he is providing for you in the present.
