WHY WORRY?

Matthew 6:25-27

25Therefore I say to 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 raiment? 26Behold 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? 27Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit to his stature?

In life we plan, worry and chase what the American constitution calls “happiness”.  We dream and pursue positions, places and things.  In our Christian lives God should be giving us the dreams and plans that, when we depend on and grow in Him, become the desire of our hearts.  Yet even in His presence,(at least for me), we worry about the how’s and whens of the plan and goals that are before us.  We wonder and become anxious to the point of grief when we cannot see through the dark spots in the plans God has given us.  We even try to fill in the gaps with our own plans.

Bottom line; There is no testimony in our worry. Planning to do what we believe God is missing is a plan that is destined to fail.  Yes it’s fine to have plans and goals but when they are born out of worry we display our lack of faith.  We have all been there and some of us are working our way out of this rut.  God wants you to live as if He has you taken care of.  He wants you to know that your destiny will not arrive any faster via your worry and anxious planning. Take care and rest in the never failing ability of God.  He specializes in success!  Whenever you are presented with an opportunity to worry, just say, “This looks like a job for Jesus”! Give it to Him in continuous prayer and He will show you the plan. 

Remember I love you always and in all ways.
