Didn't He Ask You Not To Worry?

Just look at those around us. Everyday you hear people expressing their concern - they always worried about something. In fact, that makes most of our problems. It's often about money - what to eat, what to wear etc. You and I have been in this situation too, right. For someone who wants to slowly lead a life of faith, don't you think it is such a shameful thing to worry?

Not until you read this verse Matthew 6:24-34

²⁵ “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? ²⁶ 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? ²⁷ Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?

²⁸ “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. ²⁹ Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. ³⁰ 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? ³¹ So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ ³² For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. ³³ But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. ³⁴ Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

I notice that in most situation, it's not like we don't have it. It's because we don't have more than enough when the fact is that what we have is just enough for our need in that particular time. Still, we tend to feel unfulfilled and start to have all sort of self-deprived emotions to consume us. Don't you think it's too much? There's this evil spirit of greed that makes us always want more than what we need. Well, when I am in this situation, I will cool down and think back all the times that I was saved and helped from my difficult situations. I have come a long way and it wasn't even possible to go through half of the journey just on my own. So imagine how many times that He has helped you through your tough times. This is just another time, and He will do it again. If you ask me How can you be sure that He gonna help you again this time? YOU MUST HAVE FAITH AND BELIEVE THAT HE WILL. Your faith means a lot to God before He can work His miraculous ways on you. That's why. Put the things you can't control in His hands, He will do the rest. Alleluia.
