I’ve got stuff on my mind this week and unfortunately have found myself worrying, so much so that I’ve found myself feeling agitated and having an upset stomach. Where do we go when our mind is troubled? To God’s word! His word is soothing to our soul and our bodies!Because of the ill effects of worry, Jesus tells us not to worry about those needs that God promises to supply.
Worry may (1) damage your health, (2) disrupt your productivity, (3) negatively affect the way you treat others, and (4) reduce your ability to trust God. How many ill effects of worry are you experiencing? Here is the difference between worry and genuine concern – Worry immobilizes, but concern moves you into action.
Seven Reasons Not To Worry:
Matthew 6:25 ……… The same God who created life in you can be trusted with the details of your life.
6:26 ………. Worrying about the future hampers your efforts for today.
6:27 ………. Worrying is more harmful than helpful.
6:28-30 ………. God does not ignore those who depend on him.
6:31, 32 ………. Worrying shows a lack of faith in and understanding of God.
6:33 ………. Worrying keeps us from real challenges God wants us to pursue.
6:34 ………. Living one day at a time keeps us from being consumed with worry.
