Love Worth Finding Devotional for 7th September 2023
Read Love Worth Finding Devotional for 7th September 2023 by Adrian Rogers Thursday Message. As you study today’s devotional, remember this; “Work hard so you can present yourself to God and receive his approval. Be a good worker, one who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly explains the word of truth.” – 2 Timothy 2:15 (NLT)
TOPIC: Are You Missing Today by Worrying About Tomorrow?
“So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?” – MATTHEW 6:28-30
Ponder This
I had a couple come to see me who were in their early twenties, and they had a little baby with them. The woman was in tears. The man was near tears. I said, “Well, tell me what your difficulty is.” And without telling you the whole story, they said their difficulty was they didn’t have anything. They didn’t have a house or a car. They had meager jobs, and they saw everybody else had all these things. I said, “I want to tell you kids something. You don’t know how wealthy you are.” I said, “Would you sell this baby?” They said, “No! We wouldn’t sell our baby for anything.” I continued, “Let’s look at your health. Suppose a millionaire were to come to you and say, ‘Let’s do a head exchange. Take your head and put it on my body; take my head and put it on your body, and we’ll just exchange, and I’ll have your body.’” I said, “If such an operation were possible, would you exchange your body for an old man’s body who is about to die, for millions of dollars?” I concluded, “Look at that baby. Look at your health. Look at your marriage. You are wealthy!” After that, their tune changed. The problem had been they were focusing on what they felt was an uncertain future, rather than thanking God for the blessings they had right there. Worry buries blessings.
- How have you seen the reality that worry buries blessings?
- What are some things you can thank God for today?
Practice This
Write a list of the blessings you have today and thank God for them.
