Jerry Savelle's devotional on his website is another great message for us to consider and to put into practice!
Do not fret or have
anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, …
continue to make your wants known to God. (Philippians 4:6 NKJV)
Did you know that it
is impossible to worry, and at the same time to trust God? Worry is a form of
unbelief; it causes us to doubt God’s love and His ability to come through for
us when we need Him.
There are those who
will say that everyone worries to some extent, but this is not true. There are
many people who live worry free, choosing instead to put their trust in God.
Truth be told, you
were not designed to carry the worries and cares of life yourself. Living worry
free is a decision. You can choose to stop worrying and just enjoy God’s peace
by establishing the following principles in your life:
1.
Isolate the specific
worry you are dealing with, and repent of any unbelief
2.
Recall or discover
what the Bible says about your situation or concern
3.
Reject worry by
meditating on God’s character and His promises
4.
Choose to believe what
the Bible says
5.
Thank God for being
faithful to His Word
6.
Reject all temptation
to again worry about your situation
When you apply these
principles to every minor care or major concern, the Bible says, “The peace of
God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds
through Jesus Christ” (Philippians 4:7 NKJV).
Begin today to enjoy
the worry-free living God has made available for you through Jesus.
Confession: I choose to put my trust in God. Instead
of worrying, I will pray and give Him praise today. Thank You, Lord, for Your
peace that guards my heart and mind.
Why in the world would we spend time worrying (meditating on the lies of the enemy) when we CAN be rejoicing in the promises of God's Word, that are all beyond what we could ask or thing, dream or imagine? We will NOT worry! Amen! Here is Hillsong UNITED with "Water To Wine":
Shalom in Him!
