I was listening to a song by Casey Abrams this week and found myself being ministered to by it. The song is called Simple Life. The lyrics include a message on how the technology around us can break down and be a source of frustration. He sings about returning to a simple life.
I'm not dealing with technology and equipment breakdowns but I do feel like I need to return to a simple life. God created us for a purpose and that is to love and praise Him. Sometimes I get caught up in the things of this world and forget that I just need to walk my daily path in praise and worship to Jesus.
Lately, I have been striving to change certain situations that I face on a daily basis and have tried to take it upon myself to make things happen. This song reminds me that I really just need to put my trust in Jesus and follow after him. When we do that, everything else is added unto us.
“For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they? And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life? And why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith! Do not worry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’ For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
But [continually] seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." Matthew 6:25-33 (NASB)
