What About Worry?

Worry can kill you. Worry wastes your time, your money, your health, your energy and your God given and God inspired spirit.


We discard this rather cute song about worry and say "Right only fools don't worry; I am a mature adult I have to worry." REALLY NOW. You do??

WORRY is contray to God's word. AND there are some kernals of truth in the about song by Bobby McFerrn.
  • Every life has some trouble, but when you worry you make it double.
  • When you worry your face will frown and that will bring everybody down.
  • It will soon pass whatever it is, so don't worry.

Matthew 6 addresses our nature to worry ourselves to death. Some people are set up by their personality to worry themselves sick and some people are not “worry warts” as much as others. But we all worry.

Worry will rob you of your wealth and your well being if you let it.

Yes, you are in control of your life and even your worry. There is an antidote to worry. Worry is not inevitable, it is a choice.

God’s word has an answer and prescription for our worry.

Matthw 6:33-34 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.


Seek God this week and trust Him with your all and especially your cares.

Blessings to you

Choosing Life

It can be hard at time to make the kind of choices that ultimately lead to life. We are tempted all the time to choose what seems flashy or tantilizing or even easy at first. But ultimately some choices lead us down a dead end and finally to frustration and anything but fulfillment.

The Bible in Deuteronomy 30 talks about making hard choices.


Deuteronomy 30:16 "And I command you today: Love God, your God. Walk in his ways. Keep his commandments, regulations, and rules so that you will live, really live, live exuberantly, blessed by God, your God, in the land you are about to enter and possess.

Are you making the best choices for your life this week?

Seek God's wisdom in prayer
Read your Bible a bit every day
Get sound advice from spiritual sources

Sometimes the best way may not seem like it at first. Trust and obey.

CHOOSE

Blessings to you

DIRECTION?

What Direction are you pointing? We can learn a lot about ourselves when we understand the direction we are pointing. Where we point is where we go.

Are you pointing toward God and uncovering what God wants you to do and be this week?


By the choices we make, the direction we point and the life we live as people of faith, we are revealing God to others. Are you a good sign for God this week?

God loves every person so much and is so close that we can point ourselves to God and know that God will love us and guide us this week.


Point yourself toward God through prayer, Bible reading, worship and good deeds and you will heading in the right direction.

Blessings
