I don’t know about you, but I need frequent reminders that God takes care of all my needs. You would think that memories of all the needs God has met for me in the past would be enough. But, I still find myself asking God, “Where are you? Why am I going through this?” 

Jesus reminds us that the Lord provides clothing for the flowers in the field (Matthew 6:28). Jesus says in Matthew 10:29 that he watches every bird that falls to the ground that dies. How much more does He care for you? 

Where are you with God today? Are you grieving the loss of a loved one, or suffering with a physical illness? Maybe you are lonely or suffer from depression or other mental sickness. Wherever you are today, think about what David wrote in Psalm 100 as he was inspired by the Holy Spirit: 

“Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth! Serve the LORD with gladness! Come into his presence with singing! Know that the LORD, he is God! It is he who made us, and we are his; we are the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name! For the LORD is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.”

I invite you to listen to the words in the song attached. But, don’t just listen. Open your mouth, your hands, your arms – anything you can to receive Him and worship Him while thanking Him. Even if you don’t feel like it, just do it anyway. Don’t worry about who sees or hears you and thinks you’re weird. Your Heavenly Daddy sees you and you will KNOW that He is God Almighty and that He loves you like none other. What a blessing to receive today! Amen.
