Blessings to the soul

Just after I had posted that last thread I had a look at a couple of other blogs which I follow from time to time, one of which contained a posting which was a reminder that God not only cares for us and has a plan for our lives but that that plan is already in motion.  That posting was such a blessing to my soul.  I would love to be able to reproduce it in full but will need to ask permission to do so.


In the meantime these Scriptures have been a lifeline to me during this anxious time.

 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."  

Jeremiah 29: 10-12  

"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". 

 Matthew 6:26-33
