So Why Worry Now ?
We should never worry about anything........... Period ................ Most of us think it's our role and purpose to have something to worry about. Think about it ! What are you worried about right now? How about yesterday? If we ever took the time to write down all our worries and looked back on the list in hindsight, I think we'd be ashamed....... What a waste of time and energy. Most often - it's selfishness.........because most, if not all, of our worries focus on ourselves..........Our purpose is not to focus on ourselves but to glorify God ...........You know what God has to say about worry? Take a look ...... and be humbled !
It is not only wrong to worry, it is unbelief; worrying means that we do not believe God can look after the practical details of our lives, and it is never anything but those details that worry us. Have you ever noticed what Jesus said would choke the Word He put in us? Is it the devil? No - - "the cares of this world" (Mat 13:22). It is always our little worries. We say, "I will not trust what I cannot see" and that is where unbelief begins. the only cure for unbelief is obedience to the Spirit. The greatest word of Jesus to His disciples is abandon."
- Oswald Chambers
"There is absolutely no room whatsoever for fear or anxiety in the life of a believer…It's sin - - period ! I experienced it many times and have been driven to my knees each time; and each time I became anxious and turned it over to the Lord, He revealed to me that my fear was either:
1- A lack of trust that God could handle something or
2- A fear on my part that I wouldn't want what God had in mind!
Prayer resolves both issues. In prayer, we focus on God and remember that He IS able, and we get our will in line with His, because in our hearts, that's what His children want - to do His work…."Diana Brown (my dear friend)
There are 365 “fear nots” in the Bible. Could it be that it is to remind us DAILY that we need not fear the difficulties that we eventually have to face?
