Don't Worry Anymore

Don't Worry Anymore

"As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him."
Psalm 103:13

As a child we rely on our parents for everything. Children spend very little time worrying about their food, what they will wear, where they will sleep, or anything else, as they expect that their parents will be there to meet and take care of all their needs. They assume--and they have a right to--that their parents will provide everything that they need. As Christians we should expect these same things for ourselves, as God made a promise, that He will supply all our needs. "Do not worry, saying, what shall we eat, or what shall we drink, or what shall we wear. But seek first the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added to you." Matthew 6:31-33 As Christians, we should take God at His word, but so often we don't, as most people have worry ingrained into their thoughts and minds. We don't trust God for our needs, and rely upon ourselves and our abilities to produce what we have, and so often we worry. You need to realize that if you are a child of God, He is responsible for your welfare. That is why you should be casting all your cares on Him, instead of spending your time worrying about your own situations. "Cast all your cares upon Him, for He cares for you." 1st Peter 5-7 Today, I would like to encourage you to take God's promise and believe it and claim it. Let God do the worrying, let Him take the burdens--don't give it a thought--leave it to Him. Never forget that God is bigger than your problems. So whatever problems or worries are pressing on you today, put them in God's hands, and leave them there.
