Don’t Worry

Written By Betty Predmore

MATTHEW 6:25-7:14

(January 8 )

Oh, how I worry about things! It is one of my greatest struggles in life. Are you are worrier?

I mostly worry about my kids. And now that I have grandkids, I worry about them. I can say that I get it honestly ... my sweet Granny worried about all of us all the time.

Do you remember that song ... "Don't worry, be happy!"? It might just be a silly song, but the truth is that it is what God wants from us.

How many minutes in a day do we waste worrying about things we cannot do anything about? We worry about having enough provisions, affording our homes and cars, college funds, vacations, illnesses, keeping up with the Mr. & Mrs. Jones, and so much more.

If we could all be like the new song on country radio by Kelsey Ballerini and "be happy with what I have."

God provides. He meets our needs, even the ones we don't know we have. He does that for even the smallest of creatures, so why wouldn't he do it for his chosen people?

We need to learn to trust in him for that which we cannot see, knowing he goes before us as our provider.

This goes for worrying about what other people are doing, as well. We do not need to be making judgments on anyone else, because I am 99.9% sure we have some things in our own lives that need fixing.

Is all this difficult to do? Sure! But if we keep asking God for an increase in faith and less worry, he will give it. If we ask for less judgmental hearts, he will provide. Ask and he will answer. Seek and you will find.
