TOPIC: TAKING A THOUGHT Monday, Text: “Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on.” (Matthew 6:25 A survey found out that 85 percent of things most people worry about are things that either never happened or have happened already; or things over which we have no control. Worry is fear exaggerated. It welcomes trouble before it comes. It constantly drains the energy God gave us to face daily problems and to fulfill our many responsibilities. It is, therefore, an unnecessary travail. A woman, who had lived long enough to have learnt some important truths about life, remarked. “I have had a lot of trouble — most of which never happened.” She had worried about many things that had never occurred and had come to see the total futility of her anxieties. Worry never dries a tear; worry never calms a fear; worry never pays a bill. Many of us worry over things that Christ said we shouldnt take any thought about. Christ said that there is no profit whatsoever in worrying and being anxious. Just know that it is well! Challenge: Your heavenly Father cares for you. Prayer: O God! Deliver me from worry.
