HE CARES FOR THE ORDINARIES, HE WILL DO BETTER FOR THE FAVOURITES

 ANCHOR OF LIFE DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE for FRIDAY, 17TH MARCH, 2023.

Author: PASTOR DR. SAMUEL AYORINDE – General Overseer

Anchor of Life & Redemption Ministry Int’l

Topic: HE CARES FOR THE ORDINARIES, HE WILL DO BETTER FOR THE FAVOURITES

MEMORIZE: “casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.” 1 Peter 5:7.

SCRIPTURE READING: Matt. 6:25-34

"24 Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? 26 "Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 "Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? 28 "So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; 29 "and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 "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? 31 "Therefore do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32 "For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34 "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”

EXPOSITION:

God is the Creator who cares for all his creatures. But men in most of the time not trusting God to meet their needs, this makes them worry about many things called basic needs and other necessities: what shall we eat, what clothe shall we wear, where shall we live? All these are not as important as our lives. If God could care for grasses, animals and fowls of the field that are regarded as ordinary, He will do better for you, who is created in His glorious image – the joint hairs with Christ. He has special plan for you. You are not ordinary in His hand, but specially, wonderfully and fearfully made. 

The best remedy against immoderate worry/anxieties is to cast our care upon God, and resign every event to the wise and gracious determination. A firm belief of the rectitude of the divine will and counsels calms the spirit of man. "Throw your cares, which are so cutting and distracting, which wound your souls and pierce your hearts, upon the wise and gracious providence of God; trust in him with a firm composed mind, for he careth for you. He is willing to release you of your care, and take the care of you upon himself. He will either avert what you fear, or support you under it. He will order all events to you so as shall convince you of his paternal love and tenderness towards you; and all shall be so ordered that no hurt, but good, shall come unto you,"

PRAYER POINT: Lord, I receive the grace to trust you with all my burdens and cares; I believe you care for me.
