Worry

The group went back to Bible Study yesterday and it feels great to reconnect with spiritual family after such a long break. Anyways, we discussed about 'WORRY' and why it is considered to be a 'SIN' which is unconciously done by most of us. If you dissect the scriptures and dig through your experiences on why it is an offense - it plainly implies a distrust to God. When we worry, it is like telling God that 'I believe you BUT.. Ya I do trust you BUT.. I know, BUT. ' Worry just takes out our focus on our Heavenly Father. And that, my friend, is disastrous. I mean ya we all know what a seed of worry can cause in our hearts and minds. Why do you think there are so many pranings, OC's, over-thinkers, over-analytical thinkers (that never get anything done).. etc. Don't let WORRY become your way of life. Do not EMBRACE it. Do not hold on to it. God is commanding you to CAST it to Him. To LIFT up OUR burdens to Him.

So there, it was a nice study to open the year because indeed, if we want to succeed and experience triumph in our lives here on earth, then we must focus on Jesus and take God's Words of advice to heart. To sift our hearts and minds of negative thoughts that causes us to WORRY, think of Philippians 4:8 "Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things."

Yeah! I love that verse. You should check out the amplified version or the message version for some parallel reading too.

Glad to be posting here after a hard day's work! Praise God my WORRY-List has gone from plenty to measely.. Konti na lang Lord. Help me rise over the rest of em! :-) God bless you!!!!
