Worry

Matthew 6:25-27 - "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 important than food, and the body more important than clothes?  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?  Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?"


We as imperfect human being's, all worry about life at some point.  Times get tough, and sometimes we will try to rely on ourselves to get out of it because we are the only one's we trust.  How ironic is that, that we trust ourselves sometimes more than the Creator of the Heavens and Earth and Universe?  We are flawed, and are going to mess up in life, and yet we trust ourselves more than God sometimes.  If God is willing to feed the animals of the Earth, than he is going to take care of his CHILDREN. 

I once knew a friend who went to Australia overseas for a school on a one-way plane ticket.  He did'nt have enough money to get back or a plane ticket to get back.  During the course of the school, he then needed enough money for outreach to India and still for a plane ticket back to the US.  But instead of worrying about it and trying to come up with the money himself, he trusted God and God provided him with $2000.  That was enough for outreach and a plane ticket and a little extra. 

Don't worry about things in life.  God is the master planner of life, and he has a plan for every single person in this world.  Worry immobilizes, but concern moves you to action.  God does not want us to worry all the time in our lives.  He wants us to live with the joy and comfort of who he is and the comfort of knowing that he will always take care of us.  Humans are the most valuable thing to God in this world.   God says, "Don't worry about it.  I got this.  Just trust me and have faith.  I am you FATHER.  I love you more than you can comprehend."
