LittleMiss: Sugarland

Matthew 6:27-30
"Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour of your life? And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grasses of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you - you of little faith?"

Side note, I've been yelling at the TV. My dog is not amused.

Anyways, I can not tell you how many times I've read this passage. It popped up today because it was in a little devo book I keep in the bathroom... I was just glancing over it. What I caught was 'Can you make your life better by worrying? you of little faith'. Now I know that is not exactly what it says, but it got me thinking...
I worry, does that mean that I have little faith? I never want to be accused of having little faith. But even God says it here. When I worry, I have little to no faith in God for coming through when He has clearly stated that He will keep me safe...

Another side note: Ash would like me to mention our dog is super cute. Especially in his Christmas pajamas...

... He will keep me safe and will provide everything I need. Whether it is clothes, friends or love. I need to have faith in Him.

I want a faith that can never be called little.

Lori Wick is one of my favorite christian authors and I pulled this from one of her books awhile back, and I need to revisit this topic. I don't need to worry...

"Worry is a prideful thing. We want to be in charge, and when we can't be, we worry. We need to humble ourselves before God and let Him have His way. "
