Worry

Worry is what we do when we take our eyes off of God and look at ourselves and our circumstances. I mentioned in an earlier post that I was studying the Sermon On The Mount and Jesus tells us not to worry. That is so wonderful that he does not want us to worry. He knows our needs and we don't do him justice by taking our eyes off of his power and glory and dwelling on our own insecurities.

This is easier said than done, but he would not ask us to do it if he did not empower us to get it done. I have had a big problem with worry for many years and I have found that the Bible, when applied correctly, is very freeing in it's power.

Have a wonderful holiday season and please remember why it is so special: because he came to live a perfect life and die for us.
