"Helping GOD out?"

Matthew 6:25-34   (ESV)
"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? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.  But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.  "Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble."  

No one ever wants to admit they are a "worrier".   You get caught up in making sure your family is provided for and the next thing you know, you are doing the "what if's"!  And then, all sorts of scenarios come into your mind about what "COULD" happen. 

Either you "TRUST" God or you are not reeeaaaallll sure that HE will supply your needs!   In Philippians 4:19, Apostle Paul says "But my God SHALL supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus."  It doesn't say HE might , or if HE has time, it says GOD SHALL supply our needs!  All of the "making sure" I do in my mind will not help HIM do a better job.  

If I were selling an insurance policy, would I rather offer a policy based off of what "I ALONE" could do, or a policy based off of what "THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE" could do???
