Do Not Worry

Luke 12:29 – “Don’t be concerned with what you will eat or drink.  Don’t worry about such things.”

If you remember nothing else, remember that worry is nothing more than a BYPRODUCT OF FEAR.  Worry robs us of sleep.  Fear makes us weary.  Worry impedes our movement forward.  Fear cripples the thought of advancement.  Worry blinds us from seeing Gods blessings.  Fear denies us from receiving them.  Worry is nothing more than a BYPRODUCT OF FEAR.  Fear is cloaked in insecurity, while worry is palpable on our faces.  Fear is not from God, for the Lord didn’t give us the spirit of fear, but power, love, and self discipline (2 Tim 1:7).  Power breaks the chains that constrict our movement.  Love administers Gods grace to all, as he will never leave us.  Self-discipline helps us stay the course despite opposition and ridicule.  Why, because in the end, the things of this world cannot dominate our thoughts, for God is aware of our needs.  Thus, be calm and courageous and the Lord will be with you.  Amen
