FAITH CAPSULE: To be in worrying is to be out of worshipping God.
Mathew 6:25-34
A failure not to give regard to God will pass on to worrying instead of knowing to worship God.
The Lord Jesus is the provider that meets the needs and to give life abundantly.
He came to take away worrying, but the enemy is in the business to put worrying in place for all to remain worrying.
To be in worrying is to be out of worshipping God.
Jesus warns against worrying, stating the reasons not to worry, “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? “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin.” (Mathew 6:25-28)
Why worry when Jesus specifically encourages man not to worry?
Apostle Paul buttresses the word of God when he states in Philippians 4:19, “And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”
God is more than capable and shall supply all your needs.
He alone is the Almighty God, and nothing is impossible for Him to do.
The word does not promise the supply of needs based on your power or strength, but needs shall be in place for you according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Why not give regard to the living God and know to worship Him instead of worrying?
Many meditate on the promise of God in the mouth but not meditate in mind.
With meditating, the word of God in mind, the power of God will answer. However, when doubt is activated, the inability to wait on the promise of the word of God provokes worrying.
Worrying can be a reason for a wrong answer, and the worrying one to react negatively in the face of a challenge.
In the place of worrying, Jesus admonishes His disciples on how to respond to challenges of the end time, “But when they arrest you and deliver you up, do not worry beforehand, or premeditate what you will speak. But whatever is given you in that hour, speak that; for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.” (Mark 13:11)
The word of God for disciples also speaks to all that knows to give regards to God continually. At all times of challenges, give God regards in His words to have worrying subsided.
Prayer for today: Ask God for deliverance from the spirit of doubt and worry.
