Is Jesus in touch with reality?

“Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; nor about the body, what you will put on. Life is more than food, and the body.” Luke 12:22-23

Is Jesus for real? You and I are human beings and we don’t have the ability to feed 5,000 people. You can’t be oblivious to the need for food, clothes, and the necessities of life. And it takes money to buy these things and survive in this world.

What is Jesus getting at in this Bible verse? He is merely stating that you should not worry about your needs. Worry is a symptom of fear and doubting the ability of God to meet all your needs. He is not telling you to go without food or clothes or sit back and do nothing. He is telling you to trust Him for your every need.

King David said “My help comes from the Lord who created the heavens and earth.” Ask God to embed this truth in your heart.

God calls things that don’t exist as if they did and wants you to walk by faith not by sight. What you lack will come by your unwavering faith in God.

Jesus makes the point if you seek Him first in your life then all the other things will follow. He wants you to make Him the priority in every detail of your life. You do this through praise, prayer, reading the Word, and listening to His voice. You dedicate each day to God and ask for His wisdom and protection.

So instead of worry, start praising God for His generous heart and desire to bless you abundantly.

Worry brings anger, frustration, and despair. Your faith in almighty God brings hope and confidence into your life.

Jesus will never disappoint you. Approach Him by faith and He will overflow your cup!
