Faith … Father … First!
“Casting all your care upon Him; for He cares for you” (1 Peter 5:7).
What happens when you worry?
You bring tomorrow’s difficulty into today.
God didn’t give you grace for tomorrow’s difficulties.
He only gives you grace for today.
When you reach into tomorrow’s troubles-
– you overload today’s circuit.
Worry doesn’t take the sorrow out of tomorrow.
It takes the strength out of today.
When you meet tomorrow-
– you’re out of breath because you’re already overloaded from today.
Worry, therefore, does not make you ready for the future.
It really makes you unready.
Yesterday is just a canceled check.
Tomorrow is a promissory note.
Today has all the cash you can handle.
Spend it wisely.
Worry will eat your breakfast!
It’ll eat your lunch and dinner, too!!
Confess your worries as sin because they are.
Put your concerns at the throne of Almighty God.
“O you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own” (Matthew 6:30-33).
The Keys to overcome worry are three fold-
Faith…Father…First!
Trust God to-
– provide, preserve and protect!
