Comfort
There is not pit so deep, that He is
not deeper still. Cory Ten Boom
Worry
Matthew 6:25-33 25 “For
this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you
will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put
on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 “Look at
the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns,
and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than
they? 27 “And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his
life? 28 “And why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the
lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, 29 yet I say
to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of
these. 30 “But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive
today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe
you? You of little faith! 31 “Do not worry then, saying, ‘What will we
eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’ 32 “For
the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows
that you need all these things. 33 “But seek first His kingdom and His
righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
Loss
2 Cor. 4: 16-18
16 Therefore we do not lose heart, but though
our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day. 17
For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of
glory far beyond all comparison, 18 while we look not at the things which
are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are
seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
