Bird Brained??

So, as I was reading through Matthew tonight I kept running across scripture that had to do with anxiousness, but also how much He, as in our Heavenly Father, looks out for us and has His mind on us always! How many times do I over think something? Read into something? Get the completely wrong idea of something or someone? Don't trust His plan? Refuse to be patient and do things my way instead? How many times do I act out of anxiousness and worry rather than just stopping and praying?? Maybe, no I NEED to just stop and be bird brained for a minute. Stop thinking so much and just trust. Think about it, just this once, birds fly and eat, the Lord provides for their every need and desire, they are obedient and merely live and the GLORIFY the Lord most high... I mean seriously if I would just stop mindlessly thinking for once, maybe I would allow myself to be taken care of by my heavenly father... I admit it, I am a natural worrier, over analyzer, over thinker, you name it, that's my problem. I am so worried about controlling my own life that I feel I am becoming like Jonah, eventually God is gonna have something spit me out in Ninevah an it may have been more rewarding if I had just listened and trusted in the first place. So as I was reading through Matthew I came across many verses that definitely were a big encouragement:

1.) Matthew 6:34 "Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its troubles.
-Wow! what an eye opener, even though I have repeatedly heard this verse in my life, I was really shown something deeper this time. I just need to live in the day the Lord has given me, no this doesn't mean I need to be lazy and just do whatever, I still need to do what He desires of me, but I do need to live in the present. Just work with what I have at this very moment. I need to stop worrying about when I will be in a relationship. Quit worrying about how I will be able to do school and work. The Lord will not give me more than I can handle. He alone will guide and protect me all the way through.

2.) Matthew 10:19-20 "When they deliver you over, do not be anxious how you are to speak or what you are to say, for what you are to say will be given to you in that hour. For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you."
-Yet another amazing bit of encouragement. In my faith especially I become fearful of being bold and sharing my faith and ultimately being persecuted for it. What will I say when someone confronts me? What will I say to someone when I don't know the answer? Fears of inadequacy have plagued me and stopped me from seizing opportunities I knew the Lord had given me. This verse gives comfort to me, to learn and practice boldness in sharing my faith. I don't need to be anxious for He will give me the exact words I need to say in the exact year, month, day, hour, and second that I need to say them. God is so good!

3.) Matthew 10:30-31 "But even the hairs on your head are ALL numbered. Fear not, therefore, you are of more value than many sparrows."
-This goes back to the whole being bird brained idea, all birds do is live, and them living glorifies God. And we are MORE valuable than something who solely lives to glorify God. So agree with me to try to be more bird brained!


How amazing is our God, he formed us in our mothers womb, he knows everything about us, the hairs on our head, the thoughts and deepest desires of our hearts!!! So amazing to be loved by someone who truly only wants the best for us, otherwise he wouldn't have sent his son to die so that we could live! So, even though I am wired to over think, I am going to rewire and think less, be a bit "bird brained" for the sake of Glorifying my Lord. Its okay to have a small brain once in a while!
