Today’s Encouragement is, “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7 NLT
Don’t worry about anything! –
We tend to think that we have a much harder life than folks who came before us, that we carry the weight of the world with today’s stresses and bad news, the constant noise of life, input from TV, social media, and the seemingly always negative news. There’s so much ‘good material to feed our worry!’ But 2000 years ago, Jesus gave us the solution to a life of worry!
As He always does, Jesus calls us away from the cares of this world to focus on the Real World of the Kingdom of Heaven—the Spiritual Truths of the Spiritual, Everlasting World that we have inherited as His people.
He calls us away from fears, anxieties, and worries… into Faith, Hope, and Trust in Him… contrary to the ways of this earth… and we can only walk in His ways as we focus on Him, turn our eyes and hearts to Him. We can do this amid the clamor of this life, at any time, simply by praying.
“So don’t worry about these things…Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.” Matthew 6:31,33
Father, help us choose to trust You and refuse to worry. Help us to turn to You in faithful prayer and seek Your Kingdom.
We turn our eyes
