worry

Here lately, I have been anxious about a lot of things. I know that it is silly because God tells us again and again not to worry, but once again today I was questioning God about what the future holds for my family and for myself. He is so amazing and so timely! He told me…

be still and be firm
to trust him to provide
He would exceed my expectations

Then He brought me over to Daniel 3:16

This is the story of three friends asks to worship a king by bowing down to his gods. Of course these good Jewish boys refused and vowed to only worship God. They were thrown into the firey furnace, but before this happened they spoke these words to the king, “we are not worried about what will happen to us.” They go on to talk about the strength of God and how he can save them if he chooses, even if he doesn’t choose to save them, they won’t worship any other.

The next verse that caught my attention was 3:27…”They didn’t even smell of smoke.” Not only were the three not burned, but they didn’t even smell of smoke!

Again God was and is saying to me
Be still
Be firm
Trust me to provide
I will exceed your expectaions

They didn’t even smell of smoke!
