The Deaf Devo - The Deaf Missions of Council Bluffs, Iowa, United States for Tuesday, 15 August 2017 "Worry and Fear (4)" Bible Reading: Matthew 6:25-27
Matthew 6:25 “Therefore, I tell you, don’t worry about your life — what you will eat or drink; or about your body — what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds flying about! They neither plant nor harvest, nor do they gather food into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you worth more than they are? 27 Can any of you by worrying add a single hour to his life?
-------
people wake up every morning and start to worry about what will happen that day or what will happen in the future. When our minds are filled with worry and fear, we cannot enjoy the blessings that God gives us each day.
you woke up this morning and thought about today. You started worrying about having money to buy groceries. Or maybe you worried about whether you can provide warm clothes for your family. Jesus knows that we worry, and He wants us to trust God. That's why He said in our Bible verses, "...don't worry about the things you need to live - what you will eat, drink, or wear" (verse 25a). Jesus also said in verse 27, "You cannot add any time to your life by worrying about it." Worrying doesn't help solve our problems. It is a waste of time.
knows all about us. He wants us to talk to Him about our worries and fears. God wants us to read about His promises in the Bible. When we depend on Him, He will give us His peace.
"So don't worry about tomorrow. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Tomorrow will have its own worries." [Matthew 6:34]
PRAYER: God, thank You for Your peace. In Jesus' name. Amen.
