Keep Living
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? Matthew 6:26
The verse that follows this passage asks the question, "Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?" The answer is that no matter what we do in life there is no way we can guarantee anotherday. Jesus uses birds to illustrate this great point.
By not worrying, the birds in this illustration can do what they were created to do – LIVE! If we do not worry and trust that God will take care of us and his creation, then we can do what we were truly created to do – LIVE! Learning how to live the life that God intended for us is the ultimate way to glorify our Father. Just keep living.

Prayer: God, thank you for showing me through your creation that we are valuable to you. I want my life to glorify and honor you. Help me to do what I was created for. Help me to be alive and truly live. Amen.
