Why Worry?

Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear.Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds!Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?
“Consider how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, 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, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith! And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.
Luke 12:22-31

I was young and now I am old,
yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken
or their children begging bread.
Psalm 37:25


I have been a follower of Jesus many years, and in those years there have been times where I wondered how my needs would be met, and then suddenly at 11:59:59, there it was! This has happened too many times to count. Not worrying is major part of our walk of faith, and worrying is doubting who God is and what He is capable of, and is a sin. Jesus said , "With God all things are possible". Since Godis the Creator of all things, micro to inter-galactic, and has shown Himself and His great, ever-enduring love for me, and for us all, today choose not to worry, no matter how dire the situation may seem, whether financial, physical, emotional, or otherwise. Perfect love casts out all fear, and with it, worries.
“Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. John 14:1

Jesus said it, and His Words and promises are much more than enough. Walk in His promises today.
