There are things we all have to adjust to. We have to adjust when a new baby is born into our homes. We adjust when Grandma comes for an extended visit. We adjust to new situations each day. Our problem with adjustment is WORRY.
Worry often comes for very good reason, however most cases we cause ourselves unneeded health problems, stress, illness and so much more. Let's see what God's word says about worry.
Matthew 6 25-34
New International Version (NIV)
Do Not Worry
26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[a]?
28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow.
They do not labor or spin.
29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.
30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith?
31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or
‘What shall we wear?’
32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly
Father knows that you need them.
33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness,
and all these things will be given to you as well.
34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.
Each day has enough trouble of its own
What is the point of worry? NOTHING! Our Father G-d Clearly wants us to trust in him for all our needs and he will provide. We are not to worry about tomorrow period! We are to SEEK G-d's kingdom.
So let's allow G-d to "worry" about our adjustments, our finances, feeding our families, our clothing, and whatever else is keeping us from functioning fully in His will.
When we are taking these on ourselves we are not able to be 100% for the Kingdom or our families!
Many Blessings,
Mrs. G
