FOCUS ON THE THINGS THAT MATTER, AND LET THE LITTLE THINGS SLIDE

Having food and clothing, with these we shall be content 1 Timothy 6:8... Life gets crazy busy. This is true whether we’re helping our spouse finish college, parenting young children, or working two jobs to make ends meet. At times it’s easy to become frustrated and depressed because the house is always dusty, the furniture is looking worn, the curtains in the bedroom don’t match the colors of the bedspread, and the car door is starting to rust. It’s hard not to focus on problems like these and begin to devote our time, energy, and resources to fixing them. Yet if we don’t learn to let them go and keep our attention God wants us to trust in Him for everything. And from His perspective even in life’s essentials are little things. Jesus said, “Do not worry, saying, what shall we eat? Or what shall we wear?...seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all things will be given unto you.” At the end of the day, we should be thankful that the Lord has provided us, and our families with a roof over our heads, clothes to wear, and food to eat. And most of all we should be grateful that He has freed us from the need to worry, so we can focus on what’s truly important. How will you apply this in your marriage today
