Can all your worries add a moment to your life? Matthew 6:27
” Seek the Kingdom of God above all else and live righteously and he will give you everything you need. ” Matthew 6:33
Worry will often times consume our thoughts and our lives all together. It will be at the center of what we do, how we think, and in many cases, becomes who we are. It will shorten our life here on this earth because when we worry, we are not within the will of God. When we worry, we are in a place where we are doubting the goodness of God in our lives. Worry is the opposite of trusting in God. It produces the opposite effect of God’s natural ways. Why does God tell us not to worry? He doesn’t want us to become focused on things that are outside of our control. He wants us to trust him instead. He wants us to stop worrying so that we can have victory in Jesus! Satan would love nothing more than to keep each of us in a state of anxiety, doubt and fear. Worry demonstrates a lack of faith in God. Because of this lack of faith worry is a sin. It implies that God doesn’t really care about us or our needs. It demonstrates a lack of faith in God’s wisdom because it implies that God does not know what he is doing. Our God is the creator of all things! He is our redeemer through Jesus, he is our strength, our ability and our wisdom. If we have a great faith in our Lord, then we have total and unwavering faith in his promises and his love for us. Worry is a thief. It robs of the joy, wisdom, understanding and love our Lord provides to us. It robs us of being a good witness on behalf of Jesus. We are a child of our living and gracious God in heaven. We have no reason to worry or no authority to allow it to rein in our lives. We must continue to bow down to our Lord in prayer and read his world daily. We must stay strong in order to not become weak. We must not worry! We are told in Philippians 4:6-7: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!
