Do Not Worry

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. ~ Matthew 6:34

Jesus said, “Do not worry.” That phrase does not translate into, “Sit on your butt and do nothing.” Rather, it means, “Don’t get distracted.” John 10:10 tells us that the devil comes only to kill, steal, and destroy. He comes to steal our blessings and gifts from God, kill our dreams, and destroy our lives and he does it all through worry. If you’re up all night worrying about your kids, you won’t be productive at work the next day. If you’re fighting with your spouse all the time because you’re worried about the bills, it's hard to have a healthy marriage. In the second part of John 10:10 Jesus said, “I have come to give you life to the fullest.” Jesus said, “Do not worry. Don’t get distracted by the devil’s schemes. Instead, seek Me first and I will supply all your needs, take care of all your cares, and give you life to the fullest.”

Cast all your cares on the Lord because he cares for you. ~ 1 Peter 5:7
