Do not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about itself. I tutor an Egyptian family in English, the sweetest people on earth and ever in the history of Harrisburg. The Mr. and Mrs. decided to move here about 2 years ago to give their children a better life. In Egypt the treatment of Christians tends to be less than desirable so...why not move to States known so well for freedom. Little did they know, prejudice and poverty would surround them in a land so foreign and unknown. At least, this is the situation from my perspective. I asked Nasser, "Sir, were you not scared at the thought of coming to an unknown land and where your family can not speak the language?" Nasser replied as if fear were an incomprehesible response, "Scared? Of course not, God is good," he said, "he will provide all our needs." Of course i believe that God provides for those who seek his will, BUT WOW! The insurmountable faith and certainty blows my mustard seed away! Praise God that he reminds us how GREAT and MAJESTIC he is when we are caught up in our daily cares of who might be mad at us, when that paper was due or what to wear, or even those life transforming predictions of which career, who to date/marry, where to live...At the end of our decision making day, the fact is, we need not fear, but rather, fear ought be an incomprensible concept in our lives. For God will provide all our needs according to his glorious riches. Philippians 4:19
