Attitude of Worry

It’s Saturday morning and like all normal households, I’m reading/blogging and Chris is DJing for his monthly podcast. Not normal? No I guess not. But either way, creativity is a huge part of our lives and we both agree that it’s how God speaks to us most frequently. Today is no exception.

As I’m finishing up reading chapter 6 in the book of Matthew Chris starts playing a song that (I think) says the word attitude over and over again. (If you’re into dance music you probably understand why I’m not positive this is what’s being said!) Anyway, so while reading Matthew 6:25 – 27 God speaks to me not only about the worry that He’s teaching us about in His word, but that it’s more than that. It’s not just about faith in God and not worrying about things beyond our control, but it’s about the attitude you have towards life. The attitude you have about God. You can have faith in God but still walk around with doubt leaking from your pores. Or you could have faith in God and walk around with a smile so big no one would ever question it. What it comes down to is choice. It’s our attitude and it’s our God that make life what it is.

“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?” – Matthew 6:25-27, NIV

Hmm…I also just read about forgiveness AND the song he just played DEFINITELY said forgiveness over and over again….our God is so awesome. I think I have a phone call to make.
