I Am In Control

If a picture is worth a thousand words, this one tells us in as many ways how much God cares for us.
I knew you before I formed you in your mother's womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as My spokesman to the world. Behold I have inscribed, etched, cut-in, engraved you in the palm of My hand; your walls, borders, limitations are continually, perpetually stretched out before me. Give all your worries and cares to Me, for I care about what happens to you. Trust in ME with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek My will in all you do, and I will direct your paths. For I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. So don't be anxious, asking, `What will we eat?,' `What will we drink?' or `How will we be clothed?' For it is the pagans who set their hearts on all these things. Your heavenly Father knows you need them all. But seek first My Kingdom and My righteousness, and I will give all these things to you as well. Don't worry about tomorrow -- tomorrow will worry about itself! Today has enough worries already!
(Jere. 1:5, Is.49:11, I Pet. 5:7, Prov. 3:5-6, Jere. 29:11, Mt 6:31-34)
