One day a few weeks ago I noticed Samuel had a couple insect bites. But as each day passed I found more bites on Samuel and began to think we had flees. So I cleaned Samuel's room and vacuumed every day that week. Samuel only seemed to itch at night and had trouble falling asleep. Samuels spots are all gone now. But then when I noticed Abigail had a couple spots on Monday, I read a little about Chicken Pox online. And it sounded exactly like what Samuel had. Abigail is doing remarkably well and is not showing signs of discomfort. She is still sleeping through the majority of the night as well.
During the past few weeks I found myself becoming fearful of flees. I thought we needed to bomb the house to get rid of them. When in reality there were no flees. How many times have I wasted my time and energy worrying? God knew exactly what was going on. When Samuel's spots stopped spreading I thought the flees were gone. When we found out it was Chicken Pox I was reminded by the Lord how foolish it is for me to worry. I gain nothing by worrying.
"And which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?" Luke 12:25
"And do not seek what you should eat or what you should drink, nor have an anxious mind. For all these things the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that you need these things. But seek first the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you." Luke 12:29-31
Thank you Lord that you hold each one of us in the palm of Your hand. I'm so glad that You know what is going on in each situation. Thank you for your forgiveness. Help me to trust in You with every part of my life.
