Matthew 6:25
Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?
Isn’t it amazing how you read a verse or passage in the bible one time and you get a message? Then you read it again at a later date and you get a totally different message. I am not saying God’s word changes. I am saying your circumstances change and you hear His word differently. Sometimes it is because you have grown in your Spirituality and now you see a deeper meaning.
I have read and heard countless sermons using today’s verse. They usually talk about not worrying about material things in life and instead put your concentration on the spiritual. Now I totally agree with that. However, I got an extra nugget today. I got a message about growing in your relationship with God.
Like it or not, physical attraction is the beginning of every relationship. Someone catches your eye. We aren’t the on;y ones. Animals and plants function the same way. Where we differ is we need more to continue that relationship and strengthen it. Our relationship with God is very similar.
People become Christians because of an attraction to God. Something pulls them into that church or conversation about salvation. They have a need, a hole, a longing for something and God seems to fit it. However, soon life becomes so much more than what can God do for you and becomes what can you do with God. You worry less about your daily needs and concentrate on your eternal need more. Your relationship grows and strengthens. That is when you know you are beyond a physical attraction and have entered a relationship with God
Lord, thank You for loving me and wanting our relationship to grow beyond the everyday. ~amen
