One sunny afternoon I visited my local garden centre. The flowers there were brightly blooming in an array of colour.
I especially liked the red dahlias! And the growing sunflowers too.
As I wandered around, the words of Jesus, the Master Gardner came to mind:
“And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?”
God cares for the flowers & cares infinitely more for us.
“Oh you of little faith,” He whispered gently to my heart.
So often we have little faith.
We have little faith when we get tangled up in our worries.
We have little faith when we focus on our problems rather than God.
We have little faith when we try to sort out tomorrow’s issues today!
We have little faith when our mind is filled with fear.
Our faith needs to be bigger than our anxieties.
We often have little faith as we go through life- particularly when things go differently to how we planned or expected. Especially when things aren’t going our way.
Yet God can grow our faith- turning little faith into a lot. We can trust Him with the garden of our souls- tending to our issues there.
Later in Matthew chapter 6, Jesus says this:
“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
We humans live in 24 hour chunks. We live day by day with our Father & there’s no need to worry about tomorrow!
Just trust!
