| Matthew 6:30-34 |
Replacing fear with faith seems like the best way to respond to worry. Worry seems to develop from our fear of the unknown. With worry, we conjure up a script of our own making, but we really have no idea what God has planned. We seem to be hard wired to fill in the unknown with something we can wrap our minds around, and it’s usually pretty scary.
Once we have an idea of all possible scenarios, we work hard to prevent them from occurring. We struggle instead of inviting acceptance based on the power of Christ in us. God’s desire is for us to rest in what Christ has already done. He knows that by seeking the Kingdom of God, our mental energy will be consumed by the right stuff instead of our unnecessary negative thinking.
There is confidence in knowing God is in charge. When we draw close to Him, the more we realize the grace He provides is always enough for today. "Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself." (Matthew 6:34)
In what area of your life do you find yourself worrying? Can you imagine God working in that place? Remember God is faithful. Tomorrow will bring His mercy and His grace.
