When you're facing insurmountable problems, which looms larger on your horizon -- your problems or God?
Matthew 6:25 spells out the pattern for our attitude concerning material things -- an attitude of faith and trust. "Be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on."
Verse 35 of the same chapter gives us further instructions for handling difficult circumstances. "(B)ut seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you."
We cannot have faith and trust if all we can see on the narrow vision of our mental screen is our problems. Whichever looms larger in our sight will determine what we are mostly conscious of -- problems or God.
We cannot figure out how God will meet our needs. That's not our business. Our business is to become God-centered rather than problem-centered.
You've no doubt seen the poster that says, "Help me to remember, Lord, that nothing's gonna happen today that You and I can't handle together."
Which is bigger in your life -- problems or God?
