STUPID WORRY
Matthew 6:34 “So do not worry about tomorrow; it will have enough worries of its own. There is no need to add to the troubles each day brings.” (TEV)
Worry is something other people do, isn’t it? We don’t worry, we are just concerned. We don’t worry, we just want to be sure everything turns out alright. Let’s get real, WE WORRY! Corrie Ten Boom wrote:
“Worrying is stupid. The Bible says, "Do not worry about anything." If you are worrying, you are being disobedient. I had to understand that before I could stop doing it. First, I tried in my own strength-positive thinking, not fretting anymore. That approach was about as successful as attacking a lion with a toy pistol! Only the Lord can set you free through the Holy Spirit. . . .
“If the Bible is true--and it is true!-fear, worrying, and anxiety actually question the trustworthiness of God. Then apparently we are saying, "God, you are not speaking the truth." In other words, "You are lying." Will we believe what the Lord tells us in Philippians 4:19 "My God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus" and in Hebrews 13:5 ". . . never will I leave you; never will I forsake you"? These promises allow us to say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper, I will not fear; what can man do to me?”
Now let us go forth into a new day, trusting in our all powerful God, and be worry free.
