The Birds! A light bulb moment about worry

Have you ever had something so obvious just click in your mind? Something you've heard over and over but never really understood until it finally hits you over the head with a big, fat "Duh!"

Matthew 6:26 : "look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father keeps feeding them. Are you not worth much more than they?"

The birds!! They literally do not know where their next meal will come from! And yet they sing and chirp and fly around all day to their hearts content. When they get hungry, they start looking for a juicy worm or bug to satisfy them. They don't sit around stressing about if they will be able to find food tomorrow or next month, because they live in the moment. God provides for them, and he will provide for us.

What would it be like to not plan out and stress about future events? Would we being flying after losing the weight of all those worries? Maybe we wouldn't be cruising the sky with the birds, but we would certainly feel a lot more free!
