Worry not for he is near

How often has someone told you not to worry? Quite a number of times right?
We all at some time get to worry about one thing or another. I guess you could say “it’s natural”
Well, I’ve got news for you
Though it may be natural, it does not mean that it is right.
It is not right to worry.
Ever heard of sinful nature? Agreed.
We shouldn’t worry as it does nothing for us. If anything all it does is that it steals from today the joys we should have seen and enjoyed.
We need to accept God’s word when He says He knows our needs. All we need to do is wait upon Him and He will do as He said. God is not a man that he should lie. There is a scripture in which God asks, “have I said and not done?”
But there is one thing which underpins all our provision. We should first seek god’s face. When we seek his face we are looking for a closer relationship to Him. He says if we draw him closer, he will draw us closer to himself. We need to be content with such things as we have as he has said he will never leave us nor forsake us. He is there for us and what we need to do is cast our burdens on Him and wait on him to show us the wonderful and marvelous things He has in store for us. His plans are for our good and if we could only wait on his promises and all the grey hairs we claim to be caused by worry would be hairs we accept in gratitude for the gift of long life.

"Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. " Matthew 6v25-34.
