I live in a corner room that looks out over the Charles. One of my favorite things in the world is sunrises. And from my room, if I wake up in time, I can see the sun lighting up the sky behind the Boston skyline until everything gets brighter and the first rays of light burst out from behind the buildings. There's nothing quite like waking up and seeing the sun rise until sunlight streams into my room. Anyway, this morning I didn't wake up in time to see the sun rise, but I did get to see birds flying by and landing in the branches of a tree that's outside my window. And for a brief moment, I thought to myself that life must be so much simpler for those little birds. No stress about exams, grades, grad schools. But then a verse popped into my head. I thought it was a good reminder for me, so I decided to share it here:
"Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they?" -Matt 6:26
Reading the rest of the passage was really good too. Fittingly, it's titled The Cure for Anxiety. I could definitely use some of that around here right about now.
