Days of our lives...

During lunch after a Secell Leaders' meeting last Saturday, a few of us were discussing about investments, mutual funds, CPF etc etc. And the day before, during a dinner at Plaza Sing's Crystal Jade Kitchen , some of them were sharing about how they wanted their wedding to be like. These are the people I grew up with, through our primary school years, secondary and now during our working lives. What will we be discussing in another 10 years time? What school to send our kids to?

I believe that all this just goes to show how faithful our God is, and how He has watched over us all these years, bringing us to where we are now. Recalling all our plans and desires, I was reminded of this passage:

Matthew 6:25-34 (New International Version)

Do Not Worry

Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

And why do you worry about clothes? 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 grass 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. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
