Beyond Worry

"Beyond Worry"

Scripture Reading:
John 14:1  (HCSB) “Your heart must not be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in Me.

Devotional Reading:

Because you have the ability to think, you also have the ability to worry.  Even if you're a very faithful Christian, you may be plagued by occasional periods of discouragement and doubt.  Even though you trust God's promise of salvation-even though you sincerely believe in God's love and protection-you may find yourself upset by the countless details of everyday life.  Jesus understood your concerns when He spoke the reassuring words found in the 6th chapter of Matthew.  Where is the best place to take your worries?  Take them to God.  Take your troubles to Him; take your fears to Him; take your doubts to Him; take your weaknesses to Him; take your sorrows to Him...and leave them all there.  Seek protection from the One who offers you eternal salvation; build your spiritual house upon the Rock that cannot be moved.  Perhaps you are concerned about your future, your relationships, or your finances.  Or perhaps you are simply a "worrier" by nature.  If so, choose to make Matthew 6 a regular part of your daily Bible reading.  This beautiful passage will remind you that God still sits in His Heaven and you are His beloved child.  Then, perhaps, you will worry a little less and trust God a little more, and that's as it should be becasue God is trustworthy...and you're protected
Keep the Son in your eyes,
