Go along with Matthew the 6th chapter from yesterday. The first part of the group of verses is 25 and it says "Do not worry about your life" , then Jesus closes this series out with 6:304 where He tells us, "do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself."
Where does worry actually come from? What causes it, and what is it that we do it so much?
First of all worry comes from 2 things.
1. Worry comes from the fact that we forget who is in control. We often times get wrapped up in all that we are doing, all that we are trying to accomplish whether it be for God or not, that we forget God is in control. Nothing happens in this world by chance, therefore nothing in this world can happen without God knowing first that it is coming. He is in control, He is all knowing and all powerful. The second you think something won't get done in the church because you won't do it, you are completely wrong. Because the church is the body of Christ, and Christ takes care of His body.
2. Worry comes from looking too far ahead. We look ahead and plan ahead and put things together with the idea that we can or cannot handle them. We think about things based on how prepared we are for them, instead of based on the fact that God is completely prepared for them.
James 4:13-16 Now listen, you who say, "TOday or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money." "Why you do not even know what will happen tomorrow, life is a mistthat appears for a while and then vanishes. You instad ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will we will life and do this or that."
There it is, we need to stop saying what we will do tomorrow, especially if we can do it today. There is no promise of tomorrow, it's like a mist.
I'll admit there are a lot of times that Tara and I have worried about paying the bills. We've laid out a plan and prepared to execute it only to find out that we were silly for doing so. We get all wrapped up in how we are going to fix it that we overlook the fact that God has it under control. Not one single time have we been able to execute our plans completely. Either the problem is fixed by God half way through the plan, or life changes so rapidly that the plan doesn't work.
That's how it is with God, He is waiting and willing to overwhelm you if you'll trust Him and Him alone.
Thanks for reading and have a great day!
