Matt 6:25-27 reminds us of the pointlessness of worry. Even children can worry at times, but the story we heard tonight (Bob The Bird) reminds us that we all have a heavenly Father who loves us and looks after us, and therefore there is no need to worry. Bob the bird reflected on how people can worry about all kinds of situations (the farmer worrying about the weather and what would happen if his crop failed, the butcher worrying about the profitability of his business, the woman worrying about her pile of money and if thieves would steal from her.) It’s very easy to let our imaginations run away with us and leave us fearful and anxious, but this simple story reminded us that it’s not just birds who have a heavenly Father to care for them!
Life is a partnership with God and we need to learn to trust Him, no matter what our age. God is there to help, guide and protect us.
