Good Wednesday morning! We can worry about a hundred dreadful possibilities in our lives, or we can trust in God. We can disobey Jesus and worry about the level of our pantry, the lack of clothing in our drawers, and the empty bank account, or we can trust in God. We can worry for our friends and family, live in dread and fear, or we can trust in God. While that may seem like a lot of choices, all of them are the same: give in to your fears and worries, or trust in God. For me, there are simply too many fears and worries in the world.
We can line up the fears and worries like warriors attacking us one by one, sometimes giving a place at the head of the line to a particularly large one, or we can turn to God and trust. Learning to trust completely is not easy; sometimes one of those warriors in the worry line will reach up to tap you on the armor with his sword. The warriors in the worry line don't like to be ignored! We don't live this life by simply ignoring the worries though. God calls us to take up His strength and grace, put on the whole armor of God, and turn back to the fight. What if all those worry warriors attack at once though?
Jesus addressed this when telling us not to worry about our needs. The worries of the world can and are too much for any one of us to face all at once. We must learn in our trusting to give over those worries to God. When the time comes to face the problem, God will make sure that we are not overwhelmed if we will trust in Him. We do walk through the valley of death's shadow in this life journey. Take heart, look to God, and walk fully armed. Read the Word, pray, praise God, and walk with Jesus. The immediate future may look dark, but the eternal future looks brighter than our poor eyes can stand to see.
Have a wonderful new day in Christ!
