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. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than regiment? (Matthew6:25) Carlos was always worrying about his future. He wondered what high school would be like and he worried about what job he would get when he was older. Carlos thought about these things so much that his grades started to slip and he had problems sleeping at night because of all his worrying. Because of the ill effects of worry, Jesus tells us to take no thought about those needs that God promises to supply. Worry may (1) damage your health, (2) cause the object of your worry to consume your thoughts, (3) disrupt your productivity, (4) negatively affect the way you treat others, and (5) reduce your ability to trust in God. Dont worry about your future, because if you do you cant concentrate on what you are doing now. How many ill effects of worry are you experiencing? God has a plan for your life, so take it one day at a time. God doesnt want you to worry, because when you worry it shows that you arent trusting God. He promises to guide you, watch over you, and take care of you. Here is the difference between worry and genuine concern-worring immobilizes, but concern moves you to action. Lord, help us to trust you and not worry about our future. So relax. He has it all under control. Your job to stay close to him my friends.
