Nelle's Notes

Matthew 6:30 reads, "And if God cares so wonderfully for flowers that are here today and gone tomorrow, won't he more surely care for you? You have so little faith!"

I think often times (many times), we do not give God credit for all the mighty things He does in our lives. He provides so much in so many ways that sometimes we forget to mention that it is all because of Him for what we have.

Recently, I have seen an overabundance of God's blessings and faithfulness. It truly has taken me to a level of understanding where I want to draw closer and be more faithful through my thoughts, words, and actions. So much of my life has been spent worry about this or worrying about that. I have taken all those precious minutes and truly wasted them away on petty little things. Why?! Why is it so hard for one to be continuously faithful? Why is that after He provides we go back into our old ways and let them marinate into our minds? God's faithfulness is overflowing. It is overflowing in such a way that we should desire to be more faithful to Him through all that He has done for us. Just like it says in Matthew, God even cares and is faithful to that little thistle that may just rot away. The beautiful thing is that he takes that thistle and makes beautiful flowers. Now he probably doesn't literally make the thistle the flower, but you understand what I am saying.

Many times we need to remember that God is faithful and He will provide. It may not be in YOUR timing, but it always seem to fall into this timing that can never be explained. Be faithful. The very thing you may be worrying about may just be here today, but will be gone tomorrow.
