News Bulletin: Worry, a Waste of Time
You know sometimes I have to go into my personal life (not yours), but mine. My husband doesn’t always move on things and situations as quick as I like him to. So, I always attempt to help him, and it makes him strongly disagreeable against the help I think he needs. The real deal is that he knows what to do and never worries about it. On the other hand, I do. After much gnashing of teeth and a strong cease and desist order, I back off. I’ve learned to just to sat and wait patiently for him to do what he needs to do.
But isn’t that how we do God? 1 Peter 5:7 says, Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you (KJV). Now, I know God sees the time limit. I know God knows exactly what to do. But, I sat there and worry about it anyway. God said He’s never seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread, Proverbs 37:25b (KJV). If God has never seen it, it can’t happen to me! Now that’s a powerful statement. After all He’s an All-Knowing and All-Sufficient God who also is called Jehovah-jireh, our Provider. Okay, in ending, repeat after me: God cares about me and He knows more than I do. Now, don’t you feel better? I know I do. Just keep saying that to your spirit and mind. No situation or trouble or issue can ever change what He is to you and His promise toward you. Author, Bayless Conley, stated in his article, How You Can Live Victorious Over Worry, and I quote, ‘Worry doesn’t empty tomorrow of it’s sorrows, it just empties today of it’s strengths’.
