Before you even start to continue reading this blog, I want
you to take a minute and think of every situation that has you worried; whether
it be your finances, school, relationships, finding a job, etc. As you have this worry in your mind, I
want you to read this blog and let God speak directly to you about what you
should do about it.
It’s amazing how many of us are knowledgeable in the word of
God and everyday we claim that we trust God, yet when a circumstance comes to
test our faith, the first thing we do is cry and complain that our lives are
too complicated and that life isn’t fair.
How many times do we complain and cry about the current situation that
we’re in instead of changing our posture in prayer, telling God in spite of
what we see currently, we will trust Him no matter what? It’s through these times where our
faith truly gets tested. Whenever
life throws a curveball at me, I love to meditate on Matthew 6:30-34, especially
in the message version. It reads:
30-33 “If God gives such attention to the appearance of wildflowers—most of
which are never even seen—don’t you think he’ll attend to you, take pride in
you, do his best for you? What I’m trying to do here is to get you to relax, to
not be so preoccupied with getting, so
you can respond to God’s giving.
People who don’t know God and the way he works fuss over these things, but you
know both God and how he works. Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative,
God-provisions. Don’t worry about missing out. You’ll find all your everyday
human concerns will be met.34 “Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don’t
get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal
with whatever hard things come up when the time comes.
It’s so comforting to know that God tells us not to worry about
tomorrow because our steps are already ordered. God already has everything taken care of. We spend so much time worrying about
how things are going to work out when God is simply telling us to RELAX. I love that the scripture says that we
need not to be so preoccupied with getting, so you can respond to God’s giving!
Our God is a provider! He will never leave us to fall on our face. Please understand and believe that God
will meet your every need! Instead
of worrying, let us pray about everything and allow His peace that surpasses
all of our understanding to guard our hearts and minds as we live in Christ
Jesus (Philippians 4:6-7).
So remember that situation I asked you to think of previously that has
got you worrying? I want you to
take it and literally give it to God.
I want you to stop worrying about it and trying to “fix” it by your own
strength. Free yourself from
worrying about it by praying to God and allowing him to handle it for you. As you pray to God to free you from
worrisome, God is working on your behalf behind the scenes. Just as mentioned in Matthew 6, God
will attend to you, take pride in you and do His best for you.
So cheer up, walk with your head held high knowing that your steps are
ordered and that you’re taken care of! God has got you and your future is
bright! Stay encouraged!
