Overcoming the evil triplets - worry, anxiety and stress.
““Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?”
Matthew 6:25 NKJV
Every child of God is called into a life that is worry and care free. This sounds like being irresponsible but is true. God is so mindful of us that He guarantees every one of us His children an enviable life that is above every satanic assault and is abundantly supplied.
I know the popular saying that ‘failing to plan is planning for fail’. Well if this so, there could have been no hope for the prodigal son - he could have been damned for ever. The Lord Jesus compares us to birds who do not plan their future but are still provided for by the God who created them.
You may or may not have prepared sufficiently for your future, but in whatever circumstances you find yourself, there is no need to worry. Stay with God and let your faith engage His power to provide for you - He never disappoints.
When Satan brings worry, anxiety and stress, he is after your joy. The joy of the Lord in you is your strength; therefore when your joy is gone, your strength diminishes. Joy always precedes victory. When armies are going for battle, they sing victory songs. Soccer teams also sing songs of joy before they enter into a tough game. This is to steer their joy for overcoming.
As this week starts out, purpose in your heart never to give in to worry - keep your joy all the time. Be careful for nothing. Casting all your cares on the Lord Jesus because He cares for you. Ask God for a good night sleep. God never sleeps nor slumbers; therefore you can sleep - No need for you and God to stay awake - leave God to do what He does best, ie keeping you in perfect peace.
Have a joyful week.
