I have to comment on the verse for Oswald’s devotional today, because I was just talking to a friend yesterday about this.

“Do not worry about your life…” – Matthew 6:25.

We were talking about church, work, and the economy, and I was telling him that I didn’t really have much work booked for this next month, but that I wasn’t too worried about it, and that things would be okay. Now, I wasn’t saying that because, I had some stuff in the works that might come through. I said it, because I’ve been here before, and God always brings us through it. Admittedly, it’s not that I haven’t been thinking about how am I going to pay my bills, or what do I need to cut out this month, or cut back. I feel like I need to be responsible, but I don’t want to doubt God’s word when it comes to this. This isn’t easy, but it’s what we’re supposed to do.

When I got home in the afternoon,  I received one email requesting my services next week, and a voicemail from another client wanting me later in the month. Not that this is all the work I need, but today I read my devotional, which really tied into the theme of yesterday’s devotional, that if God cares for the birds, he will care for us. Again, this is tough, and I was blessed to see this provision in amount of days. How much more is our faith tested when it’s a matter of months, or years. 

How is your faith being tested and what verses have given you recent comfort?
