WHY WORRY?
Matthew 6:24-34 NLT
“No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and be enslaved to money. [25] “That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing? [26] Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are? [27] Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? [28] “And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing, [29] yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. [30] And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith? [31] “So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ [32] These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. [33] Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. [34] “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.
Worry
feel or cause to feel anxious or troubled about actual or potential problems.
The basis of worry is that we want flow according to a pattern or system. The children of Israelite were in the promise land, having all the food but found themselves worrying about other things because the system of the land over power their mind.
The system we currently operate and submit into currently is called the world.
Worry comes when we are not functioning or growing in the system of the world.
• Wake up
• Go to work
• Come back from work
• Grab a drink with friends
• Join your family for holiday
• Movies point us to true love
• Sickness takes the place of health
• Life makes sense more on social media.
• Having people around.
• Have money to buy all we want.
1 John 2:15-16 NLT
Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. [16] For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world.
ALL YOUR WORRY IN LIFE IS AROUND THIS…
ONE THINGS PROMISES TO END ALL OUR WORRY TO FUNCTION PERFECTLY IN THIS SYSTEM - MONEY. BECAUSE IT IS GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE BY ALL.
