When Unimportant Things Become Important

During this past weekend at youth convention, I had a reality check. As I stood and worshiped during one of the songs i starting reflecting and realizing how my life is filled up with so many unimportant things. i kept asking myself "why do I worry about so much that doesn't matter?" I often worry about what we don't have, i worry about my kids and their safety, I worry about not having enough money to pay our bills, I worry about our future, I worry about my appearance, I worry about not having enough time in the day to get all my chores done, I worry about others, I worry about unanswered prayer. My list keeps going, but I realized that my worry for all these unimportant things have become the forefront of my life. Sometimes I become so consumed with my unimportant things that I forget what's most important. The Bible talks about not worrying about our life and the day to day unimportant things, but to "Seek first the kingdom of God, and all these things will be added unto you" Matthew 6:25-34
We need to recognize that we're not promised tomorrow, and we need to live each day as it was our lasts. i know the enemy enjoys seeing us get caught up with the unimportant so that we're so distracted we forget about God. This weekend I realized that once again I needed to give God control over my life in every area. I needed to stop worrying about unimportant things and trust in God in every area of my life.
