Overcoming Worrying ;Worrying The Rocking Chair

Matthew 6: 25-34

Do Not Worry

²⁵ “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? ²⁶ Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? ²⁷ Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?

²⁸ “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; ²⁹ and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.³⁰ Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

³¹ “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ ³² For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. ³³ But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.³⁴ Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble."

One of my favorite verses in the bible. Every day has its own troubles so do not worry about tomorrow. The first time I grabbed a hold of this truth .I felt on top of the world.God is aware of my needs.If God takes care of birds that do not know where food is going to come from and he thinks it is important to clothe grass. How much more us his own creation. I used to be a worrier. You know I always wanted to  figure everything out and predict the outcome of everything. You know see the entire staircase before you take the first step. However ,I got a hold of this scripture and I let go and learnt to rest and trust God .I honestly thought I had that scripture locked down in my heart but I recently found myself worrying about things I couldn't handle and had been so busy with school and trying to make a lot of decisions that I had been too busy to realize it .

 Until I woke up with my heart racing one morning and  then I knew what it was" Mr Worry" in full force. I quickly grabbed my bible and opened it up to this scripture and you know what I got total peace about everything and you can too.
You might ask, I thought you had a hold of the scripture why did you worry? The bible says in proverbs
 " My son  give attention to my word ,Incline your ears to my sayings
Do not let depart from thine eyes,
keep them in the midst of thine heart
because they are life to those who find it and they are health to their flesh"-Prov 4:20-22
I had not kept it in the midst of my eyes . All I needed to do was to look in Gods word to receive healing for my heart and  his peace that no man can give .Then keep his word concerning that issue in my heart and hold on tight to it.

 Our life is In God's hands Our  future is in God's hands he is aware of our every need .There is no need to worry about tomorrow . Do the best you can. Put God First In Everything  and all these things shall be added unto me.

Food For Taught 

1. Gods word is food to us and health to our flesh.It would reach places where people could never reach.

2. No matter how many times you have read a scripture .Read it again .Gods word is our "sword". Eph 6:17
3. Spend time with God .He knows just what you are going through .Who else but your creator to provide just what you need to make things ok.
4. Give no place to worry ,give no place to fear.Find what God says about that situation and hold on to it "He is faithful who has promised" .He has an unmatched record . He will never fail. 

Receive God's Peace and relax

God has you covered.
Have a blessed week People.
