In a world where anxiety has become the third most common health disorder in our nation—affecting more people than diabetes and all cancers combined—Pastor David Williams invites us to consider a radically different perspective. Drawing from Matthew 6:25-32, this message challenges us to look beyond our worry windows filled with concerns about family, finances, work, and failures. Jesus doesn't dismiss our anxieties or tell us we're foolish for feeling them; instead, He invites us to consider the lilies of the field. These flowers neither toil nor spin, yet they're clothed in splendor that surpasses even Solomon's glory. The call to 'consider' isn't a casual glance—it's a deep meditation, an invitation to observe how our Heavenly Father provides. We learn three transformative truths: His eyes are on us, His hand is on us, and His heart is for us. Peace doesn't come from what we know, but from who knows us. Like a silversmith who keeps silver in the fire until he can see his reflection in it, God is refining us through our waiting, burning away everything that doesn't look like Him. The contrast is stark—the world frantically seeks after provision with obsessive craving, but we're called to rest in the knowledge that our Heavenly Father already knows what we need. This isn't about managing anxiety better; it's about laying it at His feet and letting Him do the work.
