WHY WORRY
MATTHEW 6 : 31
THEREFORE TAKE NO THOUGHT, SAYING, WHAT SHALL WE EAT? OR, WHAT SHALL WE DRINK? OR,, WHEREWITHAL SHALL WE BE CLOTHED?
The Word "worry" Means Anxiety that Divides and Distracts the Mind and Draws a troubled soul in different directions, Worry is very unhealthy and harmful
People worry about anything and everything
EXODUS 15 : 24 - AND THE PEOPLE MURMURED AGAINST MOSES SAYING WHAT SHALL WE DRINK ?
MATTHEW 6 : 34 - TAKE THEREFORE NO THOUGHT FOR MORROW FOR THE MORROW SHALL TAKE THOUGHT FOR THE THINGS OF ITSELF , SUFFICIENT UNTO THE DAY IS THE EVIL THEREOF.
LUKE 10 : 41 - AND JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO HER, MARTHA,THOU ART CAREFUL AND TROUBLED ABOUT MANY THINGS
SIX THINGS WHY WE SHOULD NOT WORRY
* Worry is disobedience
* Worry is unbelief
* Worry is a form of Atheism ( not believing in God
* Worry leads to health problems
* Worry is senseless ( very illogical )
*Worry cannot solve a problems and does no good
1. WORRY IS DISOBEDIENCE
PHILIPPIANS 4:6 - BE CAREFUL FOR NOTHING BUT IN EVERY THING BY PRAYER AND SUPPLICATION WITH THANKSGIVING LET YOUR REQUEST BE MADE KNOWN UNTO GOD
We should stop worrying about anything and everything, therefore whenever we worry about anything we are disobeying God's Command , God said do not Worry and use the energy to thank and pray to to him about anything and everything, anything short of that is disobedience
2. WORRY IS UNBELIEF
Our Lord Jesus Christ gave some important instructions about Worry in MATTHEW 6 : 25 - 34. The person who is troubled with worries and cares is really saying " I do not believe that God loves me and cares for me and is able to to take care of my problems"
Worry and Trust can not be interwoven ( they cannot live together) As longs as Trust abides worry cannot enter and when worry comes in Trust can not enter. Worry starts where FAITH ends
3. WORRY IS A FORM OF ATHEISM
A person who worries is really saying that " there is no God who can handle my problems and take care of my life and my future"
The one who worries as well as the Atheist is a fool. PSALM 14 : 1 - THE FOOL HATH SAID IN HIS HEART,THERE IS NO GOD,THEY ARE CORRUPT,THEY HAVE DONE ABOMINABLE WORKS,THERE IS NONE THAT DOETH GOOD
4. WORRY LEADS LEADS TO HEALTH PROBLEMS
High Blood Pressure,Panic Attacks, Stomach Ulcers,Heart Attacks, Etc can often result from needless worries and anxieties,not only that worry is a spiritually unhealthy but it is also physically unhealthy, Worrying can never help anyone rather it can harm the person who engages in it.
1 PETER 5 : 7 CASTING ALL YOUR CARE UPON HIM FOR HE CARETH FOR YOU
5. WORRY IS SENSELESS - Worry makes no Sense. MATTHEW 6 : 25 - 26
Worry has never been able to help anyone, Worry has never accomplished anything, Worry has never solved one problem, Worry can look at problems but it can never solve problems, Worry is Useless and unprofitable and it does absolutely no good.
MATTHEW 6 : 27 - WHICH OF YOU BY TAKING THOUGHT CAN ADD ONE CUBIT UNTO HIS STATURE
Beloved this is the time for you to stop worrying and start PRAISING GOD in faith and watch the God of Wonders show forth for you in that Situation.
Shalom
