Chaos of Life

How many times have you found yourself completely overwhelmed by the busyness and chaos of life? I have found that to be ever more present in my life now that Brooklyn is here. It seems like the more I try to do to get control of the chaos, the more chaos seems to come. I am not complaining so please don't read that. I love everything about my life. My beautiful wife God has blessed me with, two great kids that I couldn't be happier about, a loving church family and great kids in our youth ministry.

What I have begun to realize is the fact there are some things you just can't take for granted. In other words, my priorities in life should be focused on things that are eternal, not the overwhelming difficulty or grief we face because of financial problems or disagreements with our government.

Jesus gave us some bold words to help us understand how much He cares for us. Matthew 6:25-34,

"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.z

So in the chaos of life don't forget that God has so much more in stor efor you and He is not going to froget who you are and what you need.
