Tuesday Writing...5/7/19..."Do Not Worry About A Thing"

Good Morning,

The Bible has many scripture verses that say that it is actually a sin to worry because it shows a doubt about the role of God in our lives. Many tend to believe that worrying is not a sin, but that is not the case. This is supported in scriptures occur in both the Old and New Testaments. One well known verse is in Philippians 4:6-7. Sandy wrote, "God doesn't make us do  multiple things before we experience His peace. He very explicitly tells us to not worry and  pray about everything and be thankful onto Him."

If we trust God and give everything to Him we will avoid the sin of worrying.

In His Glorious Peace,

"Do Not Worry About A Thing"
Written by
Sandy Billingham

We all  are aware of different things that we fully know are sins to God...but do we  really think worrying is a sin??? Maybe we have the mindset that ,"Yes worrying is  a sin, but since we all do it, it really isn't a big thing to the Lord." Or maybe we  think it is  one of those things that our God just overlooks because it isn't even close to sins such as murder, stealing or hatred. The truth of the matter is, that not only is worrying a  sin, but it is also an insult to God. Obviously if we are  worrying about this and that we are not trusting in God.  We are not confident to believe that He can handle whatever is going on in our life right now. Not only are we not confident, but we have lost our peace in God and are not able to live the abundant life God has promised us here on earth, if we are worrying.

His Word clearly tells us...  

"Don't worry about anything;
instead, pray about everything.
Tell God what you need,
and  thank him for all he has done.
Then you will 
experience God's peace,
which exceeds anything 

we can understand.
His peace will guard 

your hearts and minds
as you live in Christ Jesus."

Philippians 4:6-7

He simply tells us we don't have to worry. He wants us to come to Him for everything, not leaving anything on the table regarding our cares and needs. Not only shall we tell Him what we need, but we need to thank Him way in advance for all  He has done and be confident our cares and worries are completely in His hands and He is handling  it. As we do that we shall experience His wonderful peace, which is beyond our understanding. And it is His divine peace  that will beyond a shadow of a doubt, guard  our hearts and minds as we yield to our Christ  Jesus.

Who does not want to experience His peace??? All  humanity is crying out for genuine peace. God presents it so simple to us in His Word. He is not a complex God at all. He  doesn't make us do  multiple things before we experience His peace. He very explicitly tells us  to not worry and  pray about everything and be thankful onto Him.

I exhort each of us today to give it all to Jesus, and let His peace overwhelm us to overflowing!!
