He knows our needs.

I've been having some trouble falling asleep lately and then I'll wake up multiple times throughout the "night" so waking up in the mornings has been someone of a struggle. Last night was another night where I tried to go to bed early but then all these thoughts came flooding into my mind as I lied there. After about an hour I finally decided to pull up the Bible on my phone and this is the passage it opened to:

And do not seek what you will eat and what you will drink, and do not keep worrying. For all these things the nations of the world eagerly seek; but your Father knows that you need these things. But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added to you. Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has chosen gladly to give you the kingdom.

Luke 12:29-32

Although I wasn't worrying about what to eat or drink I do worry or become anxious about certain things in my life. It is a comfort to know that our Father knows what we need. He even knows the things that we think we "need". Too often I compare myself to those in the world around me and because of that I begin to worry. Not only will He provide for me needs, He desires to give me the kingdom which that is beyond my understanding. My sight is so limited that I get caught up with these earthly matters and forget that my Father wants to gives me something so much greater. Our Lord is the Great Shepherd, knowing that I can find rest within His flock.
