REASONS NOT TO WORRY!
Mattthew
6:25 says
“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will
eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life
more than food, and the body more than clothes?”
1.
The Same God Who Created Life In You Can Be Trusted With The Details
Of Your Life.
Matthew
6:26 says
“Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store
away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not
much more valuable than they?”
2.
Worrying About The Future Hampers Your Efforts For Today.
Matthew
6:27 says
“Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?”
3.
Worrying Is More Harmful Than Helpful.
Matthew
6:28-30 says
“And why do you worry
about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not
labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his
splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes
the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown
into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little
faith?”
4.
God Does Not Ignore Those Who Depend On Him.
Matthew
6:31-32 says
“So do not worry,
saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or
‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things,
and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.”
5.
Worry Shows A Lack Of Faith In And Understanding Of God.
Matthew
6:33 says
“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these
things will be given to you as well.”
6.
There Are Real Challenges God Wants Us To Pursue And Worrying Keeps
Us From Them.
Matthew
6:34 says
“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry
about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
7.
Living One Day At A Time Keeps Us From Being Consumed With Worry.
Note:
The Bible tells us not to
worry about those needs that God promises to supply.
Don't
let worries about tomorrow affect what you do today. Planning for
tomorrow is time well spent but worrying about tomorrow is time
totally wasted! For we are not even promised a tomorrow.
