You can't change anything by worry.

Worry, we all have done it and some of us are better at it than others. There was an article written in Decision magazine once that said "You can't change the past, but you can ruin a perfectly good present by worrying about the future." So what is wrong with worry? Well, it is the opposite of faith. You can't have worry and walk in faith. In Matthew 6:25-34 we read what Jesus says about worry:

"Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor yet for your body, what you shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than clothing?
Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much better than they?
Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
And why take you thought for clothes? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things.
But seek you first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Take therefore no thought for the morrow; for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof."

When we are consistent every day to spend time in God's word and put it in our heart it gets easier not to worry, as we trust Him and in trusting we know that He takes care of us. It doesn't make sense to spend precious time worrying about things that most times never come to pass in our lives.


The Bible says in 1 Peter 5:7---

"Casting all your care upon Him; for He cares for you."

Also in Matthew 11: 28-30, Jesus says---

"Come unto Me, all you that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest for your souls.
For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."

Quiet your mind and trust God.

Thank you Lord for your promise of being with us every day of our lives.
