Can All Your Worries Add A Single Day To Your Life!?

If you're human like me then I know you like to sugar coat sin here and there. We look for ways to make things sound good or rebuttal our reasoning behind the sin. It's like we take a big fat red stamp that reads JUSTIFIED! Now we know the only person who can justify us is the Father and that's through the blood of Jesus.

Nevertheless we still coddle our sin. Did you know worrying is a sin? I didn't know this in my first few years serving the Lord. I do know this now though. Each time I worry its like questioning the authority of God in my life and questioning the ability that He holds. Where is my faith?

All day long the enemy is looking for ways to steal kill and destroy and darts are being thrown our way and we must take them captive. Literally, take them from our mind before they enter our heart and throw them out and lock away the key. 

Ughh, the worries of this world are endless and we can spend our entire day worrying about tomorrow. But God... He says different friend. He says: 

Matthew 6:25-34 NLT

“That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing?  Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are?  Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? “And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing,  yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are.  And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith? “So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’  These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs.  Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.

So maybe food isn't an issue and maybe your closet is full but how about your children... Do you worry for them? Or your husband? And how about silly things such as meeting deadlines and paying bills. What's your worry today?

I'll be honest mine started with getting school work done before my next 3 days of busyness. Then I began to see the sink full of dishes and the blankets that need washed. I began to calculate my bills on the calculator and boy the list went on.

I heard a whisper say just stop. Seek me, seek what I have to say. Pull away from this world and all its screaming at you, rest with me and give me your burdens.

I love Him! Best Father and husband ever. He knows me, He gets my craziness and He walks me through it.

So here it goes, again I can't do it. But He can. He loves us and we are His. All we need to do is seek first His kingdom. Are you seeking first His kingdom? If so friend, we have nothing to worry about. Don't miss what God wants to do today in your life because you're worried about tomorrow!

Ahhh, (as I take a deep breath in and out of peace) God is good! All the time! And all the time God is good!
