MATTHEW 6
25. Therefore, I tell you, stop being perpetually uneasy (anxious and worried) about your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink, and about your body, what you shall put on. Is not life greater (in quality) than food, and the body (far above and more excellent) than clothing?
DEFINITIONS
Anxiety -d) a state of being uneasy or worried about what may happen.
Worried -d) to be anxious or troubled.
I have believed for a while now, that we are on the brink of a very extensive drought. It is the 3rd Horse in Revelation 6:5. The rider of the 2nd horse was empowered to take peace from the earth. What else could that mean but fear?
That is the media’s first obligation. To begin the report with fear and to end it with fear. When we have anything in our lives that causes anxiety or fear we are to take it to the Lord and honestly discuss it with the Him leaving it there with Him. If we leave this conversation still worried, we have not left them with Him.
He wants us to be honest with Him and pour out what is inside of us. He knows why we are worried and can show us the way out. If we keep it to ourselves, we will not stop worrying. But if we talk about it, our own words will reveal our hearts to us.
It is amazing how talking to the Lord makes everything better. There is power there. He is in control and leads us back to faith. He does it for me all the time. The key is to take our eyes off of the problem and put them on His power.
If we can see how really foolish worry is, we can stop. He can take care of all creation. I think He knows how to care for us. Worry is the absence of faith. Faith is the absence of fear. We receive everything from Him through faith. That is why He will not let us worry.
If we had a rich Father Who loved us greatly, we would not worry! And we do!
We are on the verge of impossibilities untold. We must learn faith now while things are still sort of calm.
