All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others
DO YOU RELIZE THAT THE BIBLE ACTUALLY TELLS US NOT TO WORRY?
I think that most of us study the Bible - search for answers... and hope to find them.
Read the following few verses with me and you will realize, just as I do, that
The Bible tells us :
DO NOT WORRY.... GOD IS IN CONTROL.
(Sometimes I find myself thinking of my own life and saying : "Oh, doubting Thomas... Let go and let God... and this brings the necessary tranquility and peace...)
Matthew 6:25-34 (New International Version)
25"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life[a]?
28"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
(Footnotes:
Matthew 6:27 Or single cubit to his height )...
P.S. This is a particular portion of the Bible which my late husband left as a legacy to his family... When he said that your possessions, titles and position in life were irrelevant... Seek ye first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Dearest Charles
how nice to hear from you... Yes, I needed some inspiration and when I found it I simply had to share it with my friends.
Isn't it wonderful how the Word of God can comfort His children? And I think that we should actually share that joy or comfort or consolation that we find... sometimes a message like this is laid upon one's heart to actually comfort another ... whilst it is comforting the writer???
Fond love from South Africa

I'm getting a better grasp at what this actually means. I find it somewhat difficult not to be concern about lifes constant issues, especially with the economy the way it is now. I try not to worry or be overly concerned, but its hard when a person, like me, lacks direction. How can I keep these things in mind when the negatives are constantly in my thoughts?

Amen to this and you know this has really got me to thinking that its hope less to stress on what is happening in this world its all about God he is in control because his love is here to have us learn. Not to burden our lives with the littlest things that grow into a bigger problem but, to ask for guidance and help through God and being in thanksgiving..

MY DARLING LITTLE SHEEP
YES MY LAMB(SMILE) I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE SAYING BUT I WOULD LIKE TO ENCOURAGE YOU - IF A DYING MAN (WITH CANCER) COULD TESTIFY LIKE THAT WE MUST ACCEPT THAT WE ARE ABLE TO THANK GOD FOR BEING IN CONTROL... LIFE STARTS HERE BUT IT DOES NOT END HERE! WE AS HIS CHILDREN HAVE SOMETHING BETTER TO LOOK FORWARD TO.
BE OF GOOD FAITH AND KNOW THAT GOD IS IN CONTROL AND HE LOVES EACH AND EVERYONE OF US!!!
FOND LOVE IN JESUS
