Are You Worried?
With all that’s going on around the world, the future looks bleak.The enemy is having a field day using the situation to drive dread into the hearts of people to deject them so that their faith may fail. But when you look at the situation from God’s perspective, its really different. God is not subject to the failures of man. He is not waiting like us for something to happen. He wants to make something.
The enemy is seeking to ruin lives by controlling those in leadership and he is succeeding. For too long man has been listening to the thoughts and wisdom of the politicians. The wisdom of the world will come to nothing, it is failing as we can see.since God has been left out of the equation, consequently the foundations are crumbling since there were not built on the principles of God.
Which of you by worrying is going to change whatever thing. Worry is like a swing, it keeps you going but it doesn’t get you anywhere. Of course we have to make plans but God doesn’t want us to be filled with worry and edginess about tomorrow.
This worrying comes since you are uncertain of what to expect and feel helpless to prevent the situation All this worrying is causing health problems, such as headaches, exhaustion, stress, and changes in blood pressure to name a few.
It is troublemaking productivity, you can’t get much done since worrying interferes with your thinking and it affects the way you treat people. Since of all the worrying you become withdrawn, you become a grouch.
It also reduces your ability to trust in God, filled with worry and distracted by the pressures all around, there is small time to pray or concentrate on the word of God. You don’t dredge up to confess his promises.
Matthew 25-34 says:
25 “That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life-whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear . Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing
26.Look at the birds. They don’t plant or return or store foods in barns, for your spiritual Father feeds them . And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are. 27. Can all your doubts add a single moment to your life?28 “And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing.29 yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as perfectly as they are.30 And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fir tomorrow, he will surely care for you. Why do you have so small faith.31 So don’t worry about these things, saying, What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear ? 32.These things dominate the view of unbelievers, but your spiritual Father already knows all your needs.33 Seek the Kingdom of God above all else and live righteously, and he will give you all you need.34 So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own doubts. Today’s vex is enough for today.
So what do you do with your worry?
Give them to God
According to 1 Peter 5:7 we should give all our cares and doubts to God, for he cares about us.
By carrying all these care you are showing that you have not fully trusted God with your life.
You need to cast them over on the Lord and not take them back, when you do that you will no longer be tying God’s hands with your worrying. His power can start to operate since you have acted in faith. Go will not take your cares away from you , you have to give them to him, then you replace the worry with the word.
Pray about it.
Philippians 4:6 tells us not to worry about whatever thing; instead we should pray about all. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all that he has done. As long as you worry and are nervous concerning what you are praying about, you nullify the effect of your prayer; you haven’t cast it upon him you still have it. Confess you are a believer and not a agnostic, reuse to worry and pray using your faith and believe.
Fix your view on God’s power
Philippians 4:8-9 lets us know that we should fix our view on God’s power and not life’s problems We should turn our view from the negative, unbelieving to the clear, constructive view of faith, hope and like. Satan will consistently bring doubt and discouragement but you cannot buy into his lies.
Trust in God’s promises
Exodus 14:13 tells us that we should not be worried even with what is facing us. We only have to trust in God’s look excellent. This is the attitude we should have today with all the troubles surrounding us. We should purpose in our hearts to deal with the worry and edginess we are facing and not let the enemy use it to ruin us. Don’t take it out on other people like the children of Israel would take it out on Moses.
In Exodus 15:24-25 when the water was bitter they took it out him, but the word tells us not to worry about what we will eat or drink.
They were consumed by dread and consequently it was hard to trust God
Psalms 55:22 says to give your burdens to the Lord, and he will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip.
