Luke 12:22 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. 12:23 The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. 12:24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls? 12:25 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit? 12:26 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest? 12:27 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 12:28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith? 12:29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. 12:30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. 12:31 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you. 12:32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

HOW SMALL WE ARE! by Cornelius R. Stam Printer Friendly Version Just behind me, in the supermarket check-out line, were two little boys. I noticed that the older one kept looking up at me and then down at his brother again several times in succession. Finally, nudging his little brother and pointing up at me, he said: "Hey, Joey, look how little you are!" Those who have seen me in the flesh know that I am not exactly small, physically, and I can easily imagine that, standing next to these little fellows, I made them look small indeed! But all this pertained only to the physical, and as I left that supermarket, I began asking myself: "How big are you, actually, in the sight of God?" I thought of Psalm 8:3,4, where David mused over the same question: "When I consider Thy heavens, the work of Thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which Thou hast ordained; what is man that Thou art mindful of Him...?" Yet we are so important to the heart of God that He entered ...
Scripture Reading: Romans 6:1-6 "To be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because THE CARNAL MIN D IS ENMITY AGAINST GOD: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. SO THE N THEY THAT ARE I N T H E FLESH CANNOT PLEASE GOD" (Romans 8:6-8). So many warnings throughout God's Word; so few who properly heed them! Thebelieverhasbeensufficiently enabledto resist the temptations of the worldly elements. His problem is that he neglects to maintain his focus upon the Person of Jesus Christ, thus lowering himself to the plane of the carnal creature of whom the psalmist says, "[He] will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts" (Psalms 10:4). Rather, the believer should follow the example expressed by David: "Search me, 0 God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts" (Psalms 139:23). "Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with Him , that the body of sin might ...
