Today's Topic: Faith in Uncertainty
  The Sin of Fear and Worry

    Matthew 6:25-34 (NIV)
    25"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? 26Look 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? 27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life[a]?

    28"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30If 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? 31So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

  God's Perfect Timing

    Proverbs 16:3-9 (NIV)
    3 Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.
    4 The LORD works out everything for his own ends—even the wicked for a day of disaster.
    5 The LORD detests all the proud of heart. Be sure of this: They will not go unpunished.
    6 Through love and faithfulness sin is atoned for; through the fear of the LORD a man avoids evil.
    7 When a man's ways are pleasing to the LORD, he makes even his enemies live at peace with him.
    8 Better a little with righteousness than much gain with injustice.
    9 In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps.
