Spring is here in Bourbonnais! The flowers are blooming and leaves are sprouting once again. Olivet is a beautiful campus and I am so blessed to be able to walk to work every morning and experience the newness Spring brings. This morning, after (free) breakfast in the cafeteria, the song "This is the Day" Echo: This is the Day "That the Lord has made" Echo: That the Lord has made (Yes, I did sing both parts, in my head on my way to work...) popped into my head on my short walk from Ludwig to the Admissions building. So, I was struggling with the fact that this song doesn't pop into my head every morning walk. God is good, all the time and I am saddened to say that there are times I miss out on His blessings because of the distractions of this world. I am trying to focus on his word and learning to sing praises every day, not just during the sunny ones.
This is a verse I read this morning that really touched me and challenged me about my every day worries and plans for the future. God is always so faithful in responding to our need because well, he knows what we need.
"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 garss 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." Matt. 6:28-32
