Matthew 6.19-34-For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will ear or what you will drink; nor for your body as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
Exodus 35-36-Let every skillful man among you come, and make all the the LORD has commanded...
Proverbs 16-Commit your works to the LORD and your plans will be established.
1 John 2.1-6-...but whoever keeps His word, in him the love of God has truly been perfected.

Cookie! Reminds me of the enthusiasm of the Cookie Monster. The kids used to love the bedtime stories with the Cookie Monster involved. He had an enthusiasm for the simple things of life that was infecting. I should have that enthusiasm for God in life too. And I do. For we have a God who cares for all of our needs. Blesses us with skills, provides the money we need, the food we need, the clothing we need. There is no need to worry. This freedom from worry, sin, death and the devil allows us to respond with a commitment to God. This freedom allows us to respond and plan and act and do his work. This freedom causes us to strive to keep His word and to love Him with all our hearts. Sure, I'll slip from time to time and think I need to do it all on my own. But I have a loving Father who will guide me back to Him. Cookie! Thanks be to God!
