31 Days - Day 30


 

Matthew 6:25-34                             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

Matthew 6:26          Worrying about the future hampers your efforts for today

Matthew 6:27          Worrying is more harmful than helpful  

Matthew 6: 28-30   God does not ignore those who depend you Him

Matthew 6:31-32    Worrying shows a lack of faith in and understanding of God

Matthew 6:33          Worrying keeps us from the real challenges that God wants us to pursue

Matthew 6:34          Living one day at a time keeps us from being consumed with worry
 

Jesus tells us not to worry about those needs that God promises to supply. Worry may damage your health, disrupt your productivity, negatively affect the way you treat others, and reduce your ability to trust in God. The real difference between worry and genuine concern ā€“ worry immobilizes, but concern moves you to action.

Planning for tomorrow is time well spent; worrying about tomorrow is time wasted. Sometimes itā€™s difficult to tell the difference. Careful planning is thinking ahead about goals, steps, and schedules; trusting in Godā€™s guidance. When done well, planning can alleviate worry.

Worriers, by contrast, are consumed by fear and find it difficult to trust God. They let their plans interfere with their relationship with God. Donā€™t let worries about tomorrow affect your relationship with God today.

How many ill effects of worry are you experiencing? Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? Your Heavenly Father already knows your needs. Give Him your worries; He will give you everything you need!

All That is Within Me

If you are like me and have an iPhone, you've probably spent the last couple days trying to figure out all the updates. If you have more than one Apple device, such as an iPad, you've spent even more time updating it as well. Or maybe that's on your to-do list for today (or tomorrow). It's not a quick update, it takes a fair amount of time; then once you update, you've got to reset a few things. So, that got me to thinking, have I spent the same amount of time alone with God, reading His Word, reaching out to other believers, or witnessing to the lost? I must confess, my answer would have to be "no." God loves us so much, He rejoices when we call on Him, when we reach out to Him in prayer, and when we meditate on His Word. He's so patient and so full of grace. I keep thinking back to the scripture: Deuteronomy 6:5 - Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. All means completely, entirely; for ...

Good Friday

  Happy Good Friday   This is the day that we remember what Jesus did for us --- enduring beating, mocking, and being crucified.   I imagine his disciples did not consider it to be a ā€œgoodā€ Friday at the time. But what makes it GOOD is what happened on Sunday --- when Jesus did the impossible and rose from the dead.    Knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot.  ~ 1 Peter 1:18-19 ESV   One of the best ways of celebrating Jesus and His Resurrectionā€¦is through family traditions.    Family traditions can be as simple as attending  ļø  church and having lunch or brunch together.    Jesus was a story-teller. I believe he knew the power of a story to capture hearts and bring joy while effectively delivering a specific message. He often used parables to tea...
