Why Worry?

Believe it or not, worry is still a big problem in the family of God.  Now, some of this might be hard to take.  You may even want to stop reading.  But I am not trying to hurt your feelings or mislead you.  I did a lot of praying about this subject, took around thirty years to think about it, among other subjects.  So, read up because this is important stiff.

​

When someone wants to control something, he tends to worry about the outcome, especially if he delegated responsibility.  If you are a boss over twenty people you know what I’m talking about.  You tell them to do a certain task and then worry that one or two of them might be goofing off, you think you have to watch them all the time or they won’t do their work.  Believe me, I have had people like that and I have had bosses who hovered over me.  This stems from a trust problem; you don’t trust the people who work for you.  That doesn’t mean you should fire them and start over, no that’s not the answer. The answer lies in prayer and fellowship, get to know your employees, have fun with them, ask then how you can make the work more fun for them and more desirable to them.  Don’t be the ‘unapproachable boss.’  In other words, put some faith in what you told them to do.

​

Now, with God; you would think He is the boss all the time.  But Jesus, being God on Earth at the time, said something peculiar about that.

“For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many,” (Mark 10:45 New International Version).

You worry because you are not doing what He said to do in His word about the situation and you are wondering if you can trust Him to do what you had asked Him to do.  Is it just me or do you see it too?  So, what’s wrong with this picture?  You are born again, but you still see yourself as a sinner (maybe a sinner saved by grace, as you might say).  A sinner is not a righteous child of God, sorry to tell you.  There is a full message in that, but that’s for another time.  Now, you (the sinner saved by grace, not the righteous child) are trying to get Him to serve you.  Again, is it just me or do you see it too? 

Jesus said, “If you abide (life in the Holy Spirit of Jesus by baptism, anointing, envelopment, not now and then) in Me and My words remain in you ((life, not now and then), ask whatever you want and it will be done for you.” (John 15:7 Holman Christian Standard Bible).

​

“For this reason I am telling you, whatever things you ask for in prayer [in accordance with God’s will], believe [with confident trust] that you have received them, and they will be given to you,” (Mark 11:24 Amplified Bible).

This is why I say, “No worries.”  Because God loves you more…  And, if you are doing what Jesus, God among us, told us all then you specifically to do you are showing Him that you love Him too.  When you come to realize that God loves you, and are growing in the faith that God loves you more… you will come to realize that He will take very good care of you and yours; this includes your children, your pets, your cattle, horses, animals, home on earth, land, all you concerns you.  When you realize this, what is there to worry about?
