Jesus said to his followers, “So I tell you, don’t worry about the things you need to live—what you will eat or what you will wear. Life is more important than food, and the body is more important than what you put on it. Look at the birds. They don’t plant, harvest, or save food in houses or barns, but God feeds them. And you are worth much more than crows. None of you can add any time to your life by worrying about it. And if you can’t do the little things, why worry about the big things? Luke 12:22-26Worry has been a topic on my blog many times before. It seems to be the one thing that I can't seem to shake completely. I'm a worrier...that's that.
Luke talks about worry in his message in the Bible and it is quite famous. However, no matter how may times I read it I still catch myself worrying about the silliest things. I will say that I am getting better at this though....I may find myself worrying a lot but I do end up putting everything into perspective and leaving it in God's hands. That's my coping mechanism now days.
God says that if we spend time with Him we will learn and begin to understand His character and His doing. Now, I don't think we'll ever really know His ways, but I do believe that through spending time with Him we will build our relationship and faith in Him and our lives will be more doable (if that's a word).
Remember that we are all in this together. We are all battling the darkness of this world and are thriving for something bigger, and way better, than this. Our relationship with Christ is vital to living this life and through Him we will be able to fight this fight. Besides, He's already won!
Our fight is not against people on earth. We are fighting against the rulers and authorities and the powers of this world’s darkness. We are fighting against the spiritual powers of evil in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12
Turn to the LORD for help in everything you do, and you will be successful. Proverbs 16:3
