Jesus wasn’t kidding when he said, “Do Not Worry!” Worrying produces the opposite of the outcome desired! In other words, worrying about provision brings more lack. Worrying about protection brings more danger. Faith in God is what draws to us the things we need! It is interesting that what Job worried about the most came upon him. What I always feared has happened to me. “What I dreaded has come true.” Job 3:25 The whole idea of worry is crazy! You want help but do the opposite of what will bring it – Worry! And at one point or another, we are all guilty. I love Jesus’ words here in Matthew.

Matthew 6:31-34 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat? ’ or ‘What shall we drink? ’ or ‘What shall we wear? ’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

God has called us to walk by faith! We are Believers – we must believe! What a concept. :-) We must set our minds on the love and provision of God and never give in to those self-defeating thoughts of defeat, fear, and failure! Worry is putting our faith in the negative things that are threatening to come against our lives. Fear always says, what if, but faith always says, God is. When we have solidified in our hearts the truth of God’s love for us and his continual presence with us, fear gets kicked to the curb, and protection and provision become our lot! Total reliance upon God is the key that unlocks God’s goodness in our life.

So, what do you say? Are you ready? Are you ready to destroy negativity, lies, and excuses? Are you ready to step out and just believe? Yes, Yes, Yes you can! The secret to a life of faith is living every moment inside of the truth of God’s love and grace. Is he with you? Yes! Does he love you? Yes! Will he make a way? Yes! The devil is a liar! He will always try to lure you into believing the bad report. God is everything you need, and with him, all things are possible!

Psalm 60:12 With God’s help, we will do mighty things, for he will trample down our foes.

Matthew 19:26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

Cheer up! God is well able to handle your situation! Resolve in your mind that he is with you, will never leave you, and that he is in love with you! I promise you; God has this! If you will believe, you can be sure his protection and provision are…

HEADED YOUR WAY! I
