Day 8: Embracing Simplicity
Scriptures:
Matthew 6:25-34 (New Testament):
“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious 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? ... But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”
Ecclesiastes 3:1 (Old Testament):
“For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.”
Reflection: Matthew 6:25-34 urges us not to be anxious about material needs but to seek God’s kingdom first. Ecclesiastes 3:1 highlights the importance of timing and the peace that comes from embracing God’s seasons in our lives.
