DON'T WORRY

Text : Matthew 6:27:

Can any of you add a single hour to the length of your life by worrying?* 
In this simple but piercing question, Jesus challenged one of humanity’s deepest habits: *worry* .

Worry is something we all experience. Whether it's about finances, relationships, health, the future, or even things we can't quite name — anxiety can quietly take root in our minds and steal our peace.

But Jesus, in His Sermon on the Mount, asks us to pause and to think or reflect on this question.

What does worry really accomplish?
Can it make us live longer?
Can it solve the problem?
Can it bring peace or clarity?

The answer, of course, is no. Worry has never added a single moment to anyone’s life. In fact, it often steals from it— not just  in hours, but in joy, focus, and spiritual growth.

Worry is often fueled by the illusion that we’re in control — or that we should be. Jesus lovingly reminds us that the One who holds the world also holds our tomorrow. When we shift our eyes from the unknown to the Known — from our problems to our Provider — we begin to loosen worry’s grip on our lives.

This verse doesn’t ignore real-life struggles. Jesus isn’t saying your concerns are meaningless.He actually acknowledged the fact that man needs necessary things of life .  in Matthew 6:32.

Instead, He’s inviting you to bring those concerns into the presence of God, where they can be transformed.

What’s something you’ve been worrying about lately? Name it.

Ask yourself honestly: Has worrying changed the outcome?

Take a moment to release that burden to God in prayer. Speak it aloud or write it down.

Memorize Matthew 6:27. Let it be a reminder to pause and pray whenever worry arises.

 *BIBLE READING* : 

Matthew 6:25-34.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

Father, please, I confess that I often let worry take the driver’s seat in my life. Help me to remember that You are in control — not me. Teach me to trust You more deeply in  Jesus name.

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
