Most, if not all of you that read this blog, know that my dad is a pastor. I hope he doesn’t get mad at me for talking about him in this post, but he had a sermon this past Sunday that I’m still chewing on. The title was “The Remedy for Anxiety” based on Luke 12:22-34. It was really, really good and I’m not just saying that because he’s my dad. I promise! I felt so at peace after hearing it because God’s Got This! I was trying to just pick one or two verses to post here from the Luke passage but they are all SO GOOD. So, I’m going to have to include ALL of them:
“[Jesus] said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, nor about your body, what you will put on. (23) For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. (24) Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds! (25) And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? (26) If then you are not able to do as small a thing as that, why are you anxious about the rest? (27) Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. (28) But if God so clothes the grass, which is alive in the field today, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith! (29) And do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, nor be worried. (30) For all the nations of the world seek after these things, and your Father knows that you need them. (31) Instead, seek his kingdom, and these things will be added to you. (32) Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. (33) Sell your possessions, and give to the needy. Provide yourselves with moneybags that do not grow old, with a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys. (34) For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”
My dad’s the pastor, not me, so if you’d like to hear his sermon from Sunday you can listen to it here: The Remedy For Anxiety
I promise, it’s worth the listen. I was overwhelmed with God’s peace after hearing it, so I want to share it with you.
Like I said earlier, my week has been pretty good. I did injure myself though. My first thought after doing it was, “You didn’t even fall!” š I injured myself working out – haha! Someone (who shall remain nameless) was at my house on Friday and asked if they could sit on my stationary bike. I said yes, but in the process of sitting on it, they adjusted the seat. So, when I went to workout on Saturday, I forgot that the seat had been moved and I ended up slamming my knee into the console and man, did it hurt! It bled too. But, I’m OK! It still hurts, but it’s getting better!
I think that’s it for this week. I’m blessed no matter what and I know without a shadow of a doubt that, God’s Got This!
