Matthew 6:31
"Therefore do not worry and be anxious."
I have had tons of e-mails and phone calls the past week, pertaining to people scared out of their minds and fearful of the future... Let me shed some Godly light on this subject.
God is Totally against worry. Jesus preached against it. Paul preached against it. The whole entire Bible preaches against worry because it was designed by Satan to produce STRESS, STRAIN, and DEATH.
Yet many of us still act as if it's still an option, as if we're free to worry. But we're NOT! Worrying is a sin. It's one of those things that the word of God directly commands us not to do.
I can hear some of you now," Bryan, what are we suppose to do when life throws us curve balls?" In 1 Peter 5:7, God says you should "cast ALL your cares upon him." ALL, not 75% or 15%, ALL.
Your confession every morning should be," I don't have a care in this world, because I've cast every last one of them- onto God."
Let me illustrate this....I like things simple. Let's say you were standing about 20-25 feet away from me and I tossed my car keys to you. If someone then came up to me and said," Burk, I need to borrow the keys to your car." I would say," I can't help you. I threw my keys over to that person. I don't have them anymore."
That's what you need to do with your worries. You need to cast them over onto the Lord...and here's the kicker, and not take them back!!! If the enemy comes to you, and brings thoughts of," What if this terrible thing happens?" Tell him to talk to God about it. It's in His hands now!!!
Remember...God will not take you cares away from you...What?? ha ha ha You have to give them to Him. Then you begin to replace those worries with the Word. You are the one who has to keep your thoughts under Control. Taking every thought captive unto the obedience of Christ. The Greater One dwells within you. He is able to put you over, Commit to it. You're a Champion. Remember...in the end...We Win!!!
There you Have it... Two Daily Doses in One Day!!!
Peace,
B
