FAITH CAPSULE: Worrying is seeking after want in the place of need.

Matthew 6

Worrying in the place of waiting on God is the testimony of error.
When one proposes to build outside of God, worrying will take charge and lead to destruction.
Knowing to embrace the provision of need by God instead of want, worrying shall not have a place.
Philippians 4:19 records the promise of God, “And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”
One who sees it in the word of God will know how to receive and become of the word of God.
With a delay in manifestation of need, it should not be evidence running outside of God.
Why are you worrying when Jesus said, “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? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you, by worrying, can add one cubit to his stature?” (Matthew 6:25-27)
Why do you have to worry when our creator says to His creation not to worry?
Worrying is a device of the enemy to deny one from serving God with a whole heart.
When God says do not, the enemy is around to say do.
God spoke to Jeremiah, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.” (Jeremiah 1:5)
The word of God to Jeremiah speaks to all without exception.
Evidently, God knows the end from the beginning.
By virtue of this, it is true that whatever God proposes, no man can dispose.
What God disposes, no man can propose it.
Most times, when man proposes to build outside of God, worry will take charge and lead to destruction.
Genesis 11:4 documents the character of wanting, outside of God, as stated, “And they said, ‘Come let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.”
The proposed building was not the problem, but the motive behind the proposal conflicted with the Almighty God of creation.
The people were not Godly-minded; they were planning outside of God, which prompted challenging worry.
What is it that you want that is not in the plan of God?
The proposal that does not center on God is an indirect withdrawal from the only One who can make or unmake the fulfillment of any proposal. Avoid unexpected worrying by taking your proposal to the Almighty God, who has seen the future from the past.

Prayer for today: Ask that you be enabled to seek after God.
