From Worry to Wisdom

Matthew 6:34 is “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (Matthew chapter 6)

The Bible states 365 times to “fear not” this is a ‘fear not” for each day of each year. This is no coincidence! God does not want us to fear, worry, or be anxious in any situation.

For the past two years, Christians have been bombarded with fear—the fear of dying by a virus that the medical profession still does not understand fully nor has a medical answer to the virus that is complete or good without some sort of ill-effect or an incomplete solution for every person.

Fear removes love and faith, and the medical community would rather we to ‘look to them’ for life and well-being, but for Christians, our life comes from Christ and the working of the Holy Spirit in our lives.

I do not believe in tempting God and living a lifestyle that only causes weakness in our bodies to fight sickness and righteous living. However, it is ‘worry and being frightened’ that has engulfed our lives through the media. It is time to free ourselves and to begin living with God’s wisdom and without worry.

I once again challenge you to ‘not worry’ this next year, 2022. Let worry go and allow prayer to permeate and strengthen your life. Let’s begin to live our lives on Matthew chapter 6 and keep our hearts in the love and faith of our Lord by praying in the Spirit each day. Let’s move from worldly worry to spiritual wisdom in Christ.
