A small virus, has caused worry, starting from China, slowly to all the countries. 2020 is a 'year of Anxiety'. Nowadays, if you turn and look, everyone is worried; from a simple housewife, to a teacher, doctor, nurse, actor, businessman, political leader, beggar etc in fact everyone. People are smiling less, and are more apprehensive these days. Worrying about daily provision, about job, health status, children's future, finances. Worry is hopeless, useless, needless, sightless and harmful. It has robbed the joy, and the hope from people. It can develop, into anxiety with devastating effects in each and every system of the body.
The situation, can be
overwhelming, to each individual, as; what will happen? Nobody knows. But, we
need to stay positive, and encourage others that God is in control. It's only human
beings, who worry so much for little things. That is why, 'Jesus' spoke 3 times about worry
in Matt 6: 25-34 'Take no
thought, or Don't worry'.
While, going through the scriptures
some verses, touched me when, thinking of the present situations. Matt 6:26 "Look
at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store' away in barns, and
yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much valuable then they?"
By worry who can add a single hour to his life? This made me think of the fact
that, God loves us so much. He gave,
His Son for us to die on the cross. Will, He not clothe and feed us? We are His,
precious ones: more than the grass, or birds of the field.
We should try to overcome worry, by
Casting all your care on Him, trusting, and praying to Him. As, written in Phil 4:6" Do not be anxious
about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving,
let your request be made known to God." and also in
Phil 4:19"But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus". If the Lord is your shepherd, the Lord is your life, keep in mind that He, will provide( food, clothes, shelter) all; the basic needs so; no need to worry.
You, will surely be able to face any situation in life. It is true, that some days will be difficult, and some easy. Start your day, by submitting it to God, and ask Him, to instruct the way to you should go. There is an antidote for the problem, a medicine for this problem 'PRAYER'. Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and you will get all the other things. Trust Him, and pray to Him, to give you the power, and grace each day. God, wants a perfect peace, to rule over every heart. Let, Him have control of our lives. At the last, I just want to quote from, Matt 6:34 "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of it's own."
Song: "I don't know about tomorrow,
I just live from day to day,
I don't borrow from it's sunshine,
for it's skies may turn to gray.....
So, dear friends,
Thus; we
can wind up with a great assurance, that; God knows you deeply, minutely,
perfectly, and with a fatherly concern is always beside you. Keep worry at bay.
If you know, someone who is in a worried state you can encourage them, and give a solace in their heart. I’d also love to
hear from you. Please, do leave a comment.
Thanks
Ann
