Matthew 6:25 -34
"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?
"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
God lets me know everyday that all of my worrying is futile and time and time again He shows me He is in control and will provide our needs. I've been working on our budget these past few months trying to adjust it to fit the spike in the cost of my health insurance. Without going into too many boring details I'll just give a quick summary...
We knew my insurance would go up drastically for the first 1/2 of this year, until I get off of Cobra and onto Blue Cross Blue Shield. However the spike was a lot more than we anticipated and no matter how we worked with the numbers we were not able to get it to work out. This created an almost $500 a month deficit. Somehow in January we were able to manage and only had to borrow a small amount from savings.
Today I called the Cobra representative and asked for some payment stubs so I would know the exact amount to pay each month. When she pulled up my account she said there had been some changes in the law and we were actually paid up until June!!! GOD is good and he provides!!!!
Just wanted to share....
