We live in the wealthiest, most abundant nation that has ever existed, yet we are the most anxious generation in recorded history. Anxiety is at an all-time high. The solution isn’t striving harder not to worry; it’s remembering these three foundational truths: we have a Father in heaven, this Father genuinely cares for us, and He has promised to provide what we need. When we live consumed by worry, we’re not just stressed—we’re actually telling our heavenly Father that we don’t believe He will take care of us. Trust is not the absence of problems, but a deep-seated confidence in the unfailing character and goodness of God. As we seek His kingdom first, anxiety loosens its grip, not because life gets easier, but because we trust the One who holds tomorrow.

Gifted
Imagine if someone gave you a very costly gift, but you put it aside and never opened it. You would never do that, and yet there are people who have been saved for years, but they have never opened their spiritual gifts. The Bible warns us not to neglect our spiritual gifts because it is impossible to follow Christ without the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit. Have you ever learned what your spiritual gifts are?
