Fear-what are you afraid of? #16

Oh the worries of Life! Have any?? Ha I think I already know the answer to that. God says don't worry about the worries of life. How can God say that? Because He is in control and when we think about it all the stuff we worry about we really have no control over....but He does! Read these verses:





Luke 12:22-34

Do Not Be Anxious

22 And he said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, nor about your body, what you will put on. 23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. 24 Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds! 25 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? 26 If then you are not able to do as small a thing as that, why are you anxious about the rest? 27 Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 28 But if God so clothes the grass, which is alive in the field today, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith! 29 And do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, nor be worried. 30 For all the nations of the world seek after these things, and your Father knows that you need them. 31 Instead, seek his kingdom, and these things will be added to you.

32 “Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. 33 Sell your possessions, and give to the needy. Provide yourselves with moneybags that do not grow old, with a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys. 34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.



God tells us here we are important and He will take care of us! He knows what we need! (needs not wants) He will provide. So He tells us to seek the things of God which primarily would be living Christ-like lives and telling others about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!



Don't miss verse 32! God's desire and pleasure is to give us the kingdom of heaven! Give your heart and lives to Jesus! For it is the ONLY way to get the Kingdom and then live fruitful lives of obedience to Christ! Don't fear, don't worry, don't be anxious, God has given us all we need! Thank you Jesus!
