Worry Warts

Matthew 6: 31

"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear.”

 

So if we believe that Jesus said this, why are we so slow to adhere to this command?

We worry if we’d made the right choice about a job, or what we’re going to do after graduation.

Worry overwhelms us in loss of job or when health issues creep in, or when a marriage is not working out.

There are times we even justify worrying.

 

I wonder what might happen, if we focused on the words… “do not”?

If Jesus thought that worrying was worth it, do you think He’d issue such a command?

 

What if we did this? What if we turned our worry into worship?

What if we’d turn our worry into prayer?

 

Worry is a pretty common practice even among Christians.

For some of us, it’s even a favorite pastime!

 

Worry tells us what we think about the character of God.

Worry says that we don’t trust in God. I’m pretty sure worry is a sin.

 

So if it is, why do some of us spend more time worrying, than we do trusting God?

If you are a child of the most High God, then by definition you have a Heavenly Father.

Maybe we need to trust in Him, more than we worry……
