” Can all of your worries add a single moment to your life?” Luke 12:25
” Everything that does not come from faith is sin.” Romans 14:23
If we were take the time to consider how many minutes a day we worry, we would be amazed. When we worry, we are suggesting that God cannot be trusted to take care of us. We are putting ourselves in situations where we distrust, mistrust, and doubt our God in heaven. Worry is always wrong. It paralyzes active faith in our lives. When we worry, we take over responsibility for the things we never intended to handle. When we worry our minds are divided between what is useful thinking and what is hurtful thinking. When we worry, we take our thoughts and actions away from the Lord and put them on ourselves and we take the place of God in our lives. Worry opens the door to worldliness. Worry causes fear to crowd out faith. Worry shortens our life instead of extending it. Worry is evil and not good!
It is very important that we recognize that worry is sin. It is a confession of the lack of faith in our existence. To change our direction from worry to faith we must be able to change our focus. We must concentrate on Jesus and not the world. We must confess our faith and not worry. We must give thanks to the Lord in our times of trouble instead of confessing our fears and doubts. We must confess Jesus in our life and all of His great and everlasting promises. Where are your today? Are you embedded in worry or are you embedded in faith? If worry has overcome your life, then pick up your bible and begin to read. Pick up your prayer life and make it more consistent. Begin to give glory to God in heaven and He will bless you in bad and good times! Faith is of God, but worry is of the devil. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
