Title: Worry and Anxiety

“Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.”   (Matthew 6:34)

The human mind is designed with a progressive quest to improve its conditions, in the form of dreams, ambitions, agendas and aspirations in life; things they want to bring to full reality to fulfil their needs. These things, however, create room for enslaving passion to materialize the life formula of survival. We all by nature, are saddled with many responsibilities which prompt us to make plans that in the end accomplish the deficit of survival. Worry and anxiety are eventual social malfunctions of the mind which manifest in the life of ungrateful people, fearful people, unbelievers, people who have so much faith in the work of their hands (that is susceptible to failure) and sometimes might be due to unreasonable fear of the unknown, lack of resources or failure of one’s expectation etc.

We have been assured by the scripture that God is very much aware of our basic needs of survival, hence, He regularly reminds us through messages,  scriptures, and exhortations that  He is bigger than all our needs. If He carters for the birds of the sky that don’t plan or have a seasonal storage, how much more of us that are His chosen people? Sometimes, we might be so overwhelmed with burdens and cares of this life that we forget His sovereign arm of everlasting provision. He is the same always and never fails! If He could not withhold His begotten Son from us by letting Him die for the salvation of mankind, why do we think He would abandon us?

Dear beloved, whatever we are going through personally, God will take care of us if we only can take a step of faith to believe that He is truly bigger than what we are facing in life. We have no idea about the hidden battles He has been fighting on our behalf. The least we can do is trust and appreciate His Love instead of embracing doubt, disbelief, melancholy, dejection, hopelessness and wallowing in complaints. In addition to the guaranteed Divine provision, the death of Christ on the cross has further proven to us that we shall never lack because victory was massively obtained from there (2 Corinthians 8:9). God is rich in all things and therefore, wants us to share His endless wealth as co-heirs with Christ. However, that means we also need to share in His sufferings (Romans 8:17).

Prayer point:

Let’s thank God today for the message. Let us also appreciate His faithfulness and ask Him to be with us even when we are weighed down with the challenges of life and to drop them down at His feet in prayer.
