Worry

It seems lately there are people worrying about all sorts of things. Some are worried about getting the Flu. Some are worried about climate change. Others are worried about our country's financial situation. While it is ok to be slightly concerned about some of these, and even ok to prevent or make adjustments in lifestyle or habits to help alleviate the impact of these things...it is important to remember that it's not our job to worry about these things.

Jesus said in Matthew 6:27 "who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?" If you are a believer and truly put your faith and trust in a relationship with Jesus, then it's HIS job to be concerned about the stuff that troubles you! Isn't that a great relief? Later in Matthew Jesus says "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28)

Take some time to let God have all that is troubling and worrying you this moment. We all have troubles and concerns in life...but always remember what the writer of Hebrews says "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." (Hebrews 13:8)

Matt
