" DON'T WORRY ABOUT DETAILS BEYOND YOUR CONTROL "

Thanks For Stopping By,I'm so pleased that you saw fit to hear the word for this week. Again I must say that the Lord has pressed upon my heart to share what I believe to be a timely message. It is my intention to grab your attention today. Jesus commands us not to Worry, but how can we avoid it? Only faith can free us from the anxiety caused by greed and covetousness. It is truly wise for us to plan responsibly; it is not healthy for us to dwell on all the ways our planning could go wrong. Worry is pointless because it can't fill any of our needs; now to worry is foolish because the Father of the universe loves us and he knows what we need. He promises to meet all our real needs, but not necessarily all our desires. Because of the ill effects of worry, Jesus tells us not to worry about those needs that God promises to supply. Worry may (1) damage your health, (2) cause the object of your worry to consume your thoughts, (3) disrupt your productivity, (4) negatively affect the way you treat others, and (5) reduce your ability to trust in God. How many ill effects of worry are you experiencing? Here is the difference between worry and genuine concern - worry immobilizes but concern moves you to action. If you're looking to and obeying God, then you're most likely doing just as God commanded. Often we do just the opposite of obeying the Holy Spirit. Listen why worry about the details of a task, if the Lord God Almighty has directed you to it. When we Storm Heaven, and Seek The Face of Jesus we will receive our marching orders. So why worry about details over which we have no control, why neglecting specific areas ( such as Attitudes, Relationships, Responsibilities) that are under our control. Concentrate on what God has given you to do, and leave the rest to God. We should always allow God to worry about the small stuff and not us. Until Next Time... Jim,
