my whole life, when i hear a song that i like, i bend it and twist it and mold it to fit whatever is going on in my life at the current time. this particular song came out when in the summer of '01. at the time i had just turned 21, my husband was working the night shift, and I had a two and a half year old who was entering that terrible whiny, defiant, spoiled stage of life and a five month old who wanted to nurse non stop. i worried all the time about weather or not i was a good mother, wife, house keeper, chef, friend, if i dressed nice, if i dressed my kids nicely, etc.etc. i heard this song and was in love instantly.
would sing the hook non stop, and every time i'd sing it i would think of Jesus. HE got me through it all. whatever the day brought, sunshine or rain He's always there.
Whatever
tomorrow brings
i'll be there with open arms and open eyes.
YEAH!
incubus -OR- JESUS
Matthew 25“Therefore I say to you, do not worry 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? 26Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
28“So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; 29and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.30Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
31“Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
and here's the cross reference to drive it home.
Luke 22Then He said to His disciples, “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; nor about the body, what you will put on. 23Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.24Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap, which have neither storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds? 25And which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? 26If you then are not able to do the least, whyare you anxious for the rest? 27Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 28If then God so clothes the grass, which today is in the field and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith?
29“And do not seek what you should eat or what you should drink, nor have an anxious mind. 30For all these things the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that you need these things.31But seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you.
