life is difficult

Yeah, i know what you are thinking. That's hard work, I mean look at all those books back there. That had to take some major time and work to aquire all those things. But seriously, what would a stress-free life look like. constant worship! think about it. Jesus said that even the birds of the field and the flowers do not worry about how God will provide for them. So why do we. Because we really believe that we have a hand in this whole thing spinning that we call earth. One of the most relieving things for me this summer has been a meditation on Exodus 3 and 4. Remembering that God was the one who brought the Israelites out of bondage not Moses. Moses was just the mouthpiece and the obedient one. Worry is the first step to disobedience, it is taking our eyes off of the one who made our eyes. I have asked that my one prayer be that of the disciples in Mark 9:24 "I do believe! Help my unbelief."
"If we live by faith in this promise of future grace, it will be very hard for anxiety to survive. God's riches are inexhaustible. He really means for us not to worry about our future." John Piper, Future Grace
