Much Ado About Nothing!

So I am a part time Youth Pastor at Hope Fellowship Church in Ramsey, MN. In addition to that I am a Special Education Para for the Anoka Hennepin School District. In one of the English classes I help out in, they are reading the William Shakespeare's book Much Ado About Nothing. As I was helping my student with his test I was thinking...

...How many times do we as Christians make Much Ado About Nothing?

How often do we worry about things that really are not necessary to worry about? Now I am not saying that we should not be concerned about certain things. I don't think it is always smart to walk down a dark alleyway in Minneapolis at two in the morning. But, we worry about money and what we are going to wear. We make Much Ado About Nothing.

Matthew 6:25-27

²⁵ “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? ²⁶ Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? ²⁷ Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?

So many times I find myself not putting my trust in God. I think that I have to do this so that I can get this. I then begin to worry about it.

I am getting married in July of this year! I am super excited, but to be honest with you I am also nervous. I am not nervous to be married! I am nervous because it will be my responsibility to be the provider for the family.

Then it hit me!! Like a giant cinder block! I AM NOT THE PROVIDER! God is the provider of everything. Without Him I do have reason to worry. However, I have God with me. He is the provider and the sustainer! Matthew says that God even cares for the birds, and how much more important am I? Wow!

So when you start to make Much Ado About Nothing remember this. All your Ado is not to much for God. He is the provider, and more then capable to be in control of mine and my families life!

Give as much of your Ado to God, as you possibly can!
