My child, take a walk outside with Me and let Me show off to you the beauty of My creation. See how I have fashioned the trees, flowers, and leaves with the most intricate detail, yet with such ease. Listen to the birds sing and take in the vibrant colours that surround you.
Worship Me.
Breathe in deeply.
Rest in Me.
I AM your loving Heavenly Father who longs to give you good gifts and extravagantly meet your daily needs. If I can take care of the smallest sparrow, how much more will I lavish My love upon you. I know your every need.
Give Me your cares.
The culture and narrative of the world will try to inform you. I say, tomorrow’s concerns don’t belong to today.
Set your heart’s attention on the Kingdom of Heaven and things that will last. Pursue My righteousness and priorities for your life. I have so much more for you than fleeting pleasures which won’t satisfy.
Walk with Me, talk with Me, and keep your fixed eyes on Me.
Activation: Spend time in worship and ask Holy Spirit to show you things that are pulling you in different directions. Hand them over to God in prayer. If you can, go for a walk in the outdoors or find a thing of beauty and allow God to minister His love and care.
30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive and green today and tomorrow is [cut and] thrown [as fuel] into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith!
31 Therefore do not worry or be anxious (perpetually uneasy, distracted), saying, ‘What are we going to eat?’ or ‘What are we going to drink?’ or ‘What are we going to wear?’
32 For the [pagan] Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; [but do not worry,] for your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
33 But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His kingdom and His righteousness [His way of doing and being right—the attitude and character of God], and all these things will be given to you also.
34 “So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Matthew 6::30-34 (AMP)
Put On the New Self
1 Therefore if you have been raised with Christ [to a new life, sharing in His resurrection from the dead], keep seeking the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
2 Set your mind and keep focused habitually on the things above [the heavenly things], not on things that are on the earth [which have only temporal value].
3 For you died [to this world], and your [new, real] life is hidden with Christ in God.
Colossians 3:1-3 (AMP)
