Worry not He is in control
Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV) “Trust in the Lord with all your
heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge
Him, And He shall direct your paths.”
Sometimes we feel that we just cannot trust anyone when it
comes time to make decisions, not even God even though He knows what is best
for us. We must bring our decisions to
God in prayer, using the Bible as our guide and then follow His lead. He will direct our paths both by guiding and
protecting us.
Solomon told us to seek His wisdom in all we do, and about a
thousand years later Jesus emphasized the same truth in Matthew 6:33 (NKJV) “But
seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall
be added to you.” We must make the
Kingdom of God our primary concern meaning to put God first in our lives.
Jesus in Matthew 6:25-34 provided us with 7 reasons why we
should not worry because;
- 6:25 – The same God who created life in us can be trusted with the details of our lives
- 6:26 – Worrying about the future hampers our efforts for today
- 6:27 – Worrying is more harmful than helpful
- 6:28-30 –God does not ignore those who depend on Him
- 6:31-32 – Worrying shows a lack of faith in and understanding of God
- 6:33 – Worrying keeps us from real challenges God wants us to pursue
- 6:34 – Living one day at a time keeps us from being consumed with worry
