Is not life more?

"Is not life more than food, or the body more than clothes?" These verses in Matthew mention how the Father provides for the birds and the lilies, how much more will he provide for us? Why would we even believe for a second that if we bloom where He has planted us, He will just leave us to our own? He literally says if He provides for the birds, how much more will he provide for us, His children. Why would we even doubt for a second that God would fulfill the promises of His children in biblical times but the same God would not come through on the promises He has made for His children today? We serve the same God that Abraham served, the same God that took a rib from Adam in the garden, the same God that David and Paul and even Jesus served and spoke of. What makes us believe we are any more special or significant than the men and women in the bible, that God came through for them but we are unforgivable? How self centered must we be to believe we can provide for ourselves knowing nothing of our future better than God can provide for us knowing every second of our future? It drives me absolutely crazy knowing that I often put more faith in myself than I do in my God. I pray He shows me His strength through my weaknesses so much that I can't help but look straight to Him in everything. I pray that I praise His name through the good and the bad because He alone is worthy!
