Topic: Worry

We worry about what to say…
Matthew 10:19 But when they arrest you, do not worry about what to say or how to say it. At that time you will be given what to say, 20 for it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. (NIV)

We worry about life…
Matthew 6:25 "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? (NIV)

The worries of life choke out the goodness of life as thorns choke out the crops sown with good seed.
Matthew 13:7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. 8 Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop--a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. 9 He who has ears, let him hear." (NIV)

Being fearfully occupied with the problems of this life is what most people would call worry. A heart weighed down with the anxieties of life is a worried heart. Worry takes us away from God. This is why worry is such a bad thing. When we worry, we are not thinking about God or what possibilities exist with God. Worry is a plague upon people. Worry is a satanic weapon that will squeeze the life out of you. Worry is a sin. Perhaps you want to exclaim, "Surely not, worry cannot be a sin because worry is so natural." However, worry is a deadly sin. Worry kills people. Look at the facts. One-half of all sick people are sick because of some kind of emotional problem…95% of which is worry. When you worry, you get emotionally upset. When you worry, your body will begin to break down from the stress. Worrying is what you do when you are not putting your life and the life of others in the hands of Jesus. Jesus came to this earth and told you not to worry. He came and told you everything would be all right if you trust him. Are you listening? Worrying is what you do when your faith runs out. Having faith is the opposite of worrying.
