No Need To Worry

The FAST pace in which MOST of us live today, it is so easy to get caught up in our daily battles with the future concerning work, finances, relationships, even CHURCH! When our daily battles about the future dominate our thoughts and our actions, we develop a harmful and occasionally embarrassing virus that causes growths that hender the steps of our walk with God! They are called WORRY WARTS! And they keep us from living the ABUNDANT LIFE that Jesus said we could have in John 10:10! Here are SEVEN reasons Jesus gave us NOT to WORRY!

"That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life-whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn't life more than food, and your body more than clothing?" Matthew 6:25 says that the same God that created you can be trusted with the details of your life

In Matthew 6:26 Jesus says, "look at the birds. They don't plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly father feeds them. And aren't you more valuable to him than they are?" Worrying about the future hampers you efforts for today!

Worrying is more HARMFUL than it is helpful. Jesus confirms this by saying in Matthew 6:27, "Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?"

Jesus continues in Matthew 6:28-29 to say, "And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lillies of the field and how they grow. They don't work or make their clothing, yet Soloman in all his glory was not dressed as beautiful as they are." When we DEPEND on God alone, He never ignores us!

Worrying shows a complete lack of faith and understanding of God!
Matthew 6:31,32 "So don't worry about these things saying, 'What will eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?' These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly father already knows all your needs."

"Seek the Kingdom of God, above all else, and live righteously, and He will give you everything you need." Matthew 6:33 Worrying keeps us from the REAL CHALLENGES God wants us to persue!

"So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today." Matthew 6:34. Living one day at a time keeps us from being consumed with worry!

So free yourself from focusing on your daily battles with the FUTURE that causes WORRY and slow down enough to spend time in prayer and in God's Word lest you forget the promises of GOD!

Jesus loves YOU!
