Why Are We So Worried?
With everything going on, including the various trials in our lives and all that is happening in our country and the world, many are feeling a bit stressed, if not overwhelmed.
In these times, we need to look to God and His Word. When this happened to me, I saw a picture of a sparrow, and the Lord spoke these Scriptures into my heart.
“Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?” (Matthew 6:26) AND “But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.” (Luke 12:7)
When we feel stressed and overwhelmed, let’s turn our focus to Jesus, who said, “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.” (Matthew 6:33-34)
So, physically, emotionally, and spiritually, it doesn’t make sense to worry when we can give it to God, who will help us through.
It is with this assurance that King David could write, “Cast your burden on the Lord, and He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.” (Psalm 55:22)
