Acts 1:7

Acts 1:7 And He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority.

As we read this verse we are reminded that trusting God’s timing is something that we can do willing or unwillingly, either way that we go about it God still controls the timing and it is not for us to know his times or his seasons. We are also reminded that God has the ultimate authority, one that does not depend on the whims of anybody, not even Jesus’s 12 disciples. As I mentioned in the beginning, we can either trust in God’s timing or worry and fret over it, either way He will still be in control, so here we have a passage that talks about what we should do instead of fretting or worrying.

Matthew 6:25-34 “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field. How they grow; they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not worry, saying ‘What shall we eat?’ Or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

Application-I will memorize Matthew 6:25-34, so that I can better remember the right way to trust God.
