Yesterday's word was anxiety; today's is worry. These two, for me, are incredibly similar. I think the fact that they are both on the list (and so high on the list) indicate exactly how often we let negative thoughts control our minds.
When looking through my Bible to find a verse for both yesterday and today...I found multiple verses that were applicable. Multiple verses that made me think "Really, ALL of these clear sayings that show I shouldn't worry, that it's not my place to try and take care of these things, and I still can't just trust the deity I claim to believe will give me everlasting life after death in heave?"
Seriously, sometimes I am just a big 'ole dummy. If I really do believe the foundations of Christianity- that God created this world, then sent Jesus Christ to earth to sacrifice Himself and save us all- if I really believe that He is capable of those huge, life-altering things...why can I not trust that He will take care of mundane things like what job I get or when I pay my bills?
Isaiah 43:2
2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
No matter what life throws at me, no matter how overwhelming it may be...He is with. There is no need to worry, because He is with me. He can and will take care of me. Ultimately, any worry I have is because of my lack of faith.
I agree they go hand in hand. And I also struggle with them both and one leads to another. I like your verse. I will have to take not of that one too. I am loving adding so many new verses to my "go-to" list.
ReplyDeleteI like how you ended as well reminding me/us "ay worry I have is because of my lack of faith." while I think this is not something most of us like to admit to it is a big eye opener for me. Thanks
This is awesome , thanks for posting it!
ReplyDeleteAs strange as this may sound, I think some of our "worry" these days has been caused by social media. When someone else gets a great job, buys a house, etc. we hear about it almost immediately and sometimes feel the need to compare ourselves.

Loved this! It is crazy how we still allow doubt in knowing all we know about our great God! Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteI am actually one of your more "silent" followers! I am probably going to try and be more active though because I love the spiritual approach in your blog. I'm sort of in a spiritual searching spot in my life and your blog will give me a perspective I need. I love that scripture by the way!
