worry

Posted by: admin | Comments (0)

Hey everyone, sorry that I dropped off the face of the earth for a while…just need to regroup I guess:)

I have been thinking about what to write and as I was reading this morning in Matthew I came across this verse “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries.  Today’s trouble is enough for today.” Matthew 6:34  This really caught my hearts attention.

If you talk to people around me you will come to find that I love to make lists!  Lists of things to do for that day, things we need to buy, things I need to pack, things that I would like to get done, things that should get done, and the list goes on.  I personally find that they help keep me on track for that day.  These list don’t cause me to worry.  But one list that still kind of makes me worry, and used to consume me, is the list of bills…  This was my weakness… and Satin was using it.

I would lie awake at night just being consumed with making the lists in my head about what we need to pay that week and what is coming up and what is going to be owed and bla bla bla.  My heart would start to race and my mind felt like I was riding the Zipper at the fair.  I would literally become sick to my stomach with worry.  Writing this I still remember the feeling.  I was being consumed by worry, that turned into fear, which caused my heart to doubt.

“…Your heavenly Father already knows all your needs, and he will give you all you need from day to day if you live for him and make the Kingdom of God your primary concern.” Matthew 6:32-33

I was living for this world.  I’m not saying that we don’t need to be concerned about our bills, money situations, or what ever it is that consumes you.  But we need to not worry about them.  Live one day at a time.   Focus on Jesus and be a good steward of what he has given you today and He’ll take care of your tomorrow.
