what ya worrying about?

We worry about so many things.  But the fact is that when we worry, we say that we don't trust God.  I meet people daily who are in tough place and can't seem to make sense out of their situation, their pain or the trouble that plaques their life.  

The biggest piece of this is faith.  Does our faith impact how we feel, how we respond or how we deal with others  What ya worrying about?

"So don't worry about these things, saying, 'What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?'  These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs.  Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.  "So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today.


Those verses are huge.  That is, if we believe them. 

Does what we are worrying about really matter?  In ten days or in ten years will it make a difference?  For more of us the answer is no.  But there are some of those worries that are huge, they are life and death, they are painful and threatening.  Yet God says in these verses to seek Him.  Above all else simply go after God because He knows everything.

The key to worrying less ... seek God.

Answer this: what ya worrying about?  Take a few minutes and ask God to take your worry and do something with it that you can't do.  God cares.  So what ya worrying about can be dealt with in productive ways.  Give God a chance.  Believe what God says!

Matthew 11:28-30 nasb

"Come to me, all you who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

This is so for me at this moment. I definitely am worrying about something that I need to leave in the hands of God.

Thanks and God Bless!

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
