WHY ARE THE SAINTS SO WORRIED?
The world is ever changing on a daily basis. We don’t know where, what , who, when, how things are going to change which causes people to WORRY about things such living, surviving, money and the ability to enjoy luxuries that we desire. What is baffling is that we hear many Christians, true born again believers, Saints; children of the most High God express their concerns for their live in the midst of this political, natural disastrous, non-serious religious world, which we live in today. How and why is this??
Matthew 6:25-34 (NIV) says:
25"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his lifeF30 ?
28"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
This is such a powerful passage that Jesus was privately giving to His disciples in the mountains. The same goes for us today. . . . . If we know that all things are in His hands and we belong to Him why do we the people of God worry about our surroundings, our families, our jobs etc.? How come we can’t be like Paul in the midst of all of his obstacles he states in Philippians 4:12;
“I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.”
Where is our foundation of strength? Do we really have Faith? Is trusting God only seasonal?
