Reading Verse: Deuteronomy 33:1-29
“That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear.
Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing?”
Matthew 6:25
The most common things experienced by everyone are anxiety and worry. Although anxiety can be experienced by anyone, it is important not to let it overwhelm us because worry will not solve problems but will make it hard for us to face them. Don’t worry about what we eat or wear because God is able to take care of our lives. God knows better about our needs. Believe that even birds in the sky are taken care of, so we as His people are much taken care of. God will supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Jesus Christ (Philippians 4:19). Therefore, surrender all of our needs to God and do not worry about them.
Never worry about tomorrow. There are many people worrying about their future, but it is written that we should not worry because God will give good future full of hope for us (Jeremiah 29:11). Even though our current circumstance is not good, do not fear because God is able to change everything. He will fulfill His promise. Our future is determined by God and not by our circumstances. So, let us joyfully walk this day and welcome tomorrow with full of faith and confidence with God.
Next, we should not worry about our finances, because God is able to bless beyond what we can think about. He is the resource of our blessings. God always works with His miraculous ways. When we start to worry about our finances, believe that God will always give His blessings. Continuous worry can affect our health, so let us guard our heart to be joyful all the time. Do not worry and always remember of God’s blessings, because He will fulfill all of His promises. Stay close to God so that we may have peace.
Life full with anxiety will not have joy. Anxiety can’t help us to solve our problems; it will make us down instead. So, make a decision not to be overwhelmed by anxiety, and raise up to walk towards the victory. Amen.
