Sunday’s Exhortation

Do you tend to worry? Do you let small things bother you so much that you can’t think of anything else except that one small thing? This describes me…I am still learning not to worry, but it’s a hard thing for me. I am a champion worrier, much to the dismay of my loved ones and my own body. I tell myself that I have let it go and next thing you know, that concern has popped right into my head again. So, this is my exhortation to you and to me today and into the future.

I don’t really worry about food or clothing, but I do sometimes worry about issues with my body and things around me that need repairs that I don’t have the money for. I think that this Scripture applies to anything and everything that we are worrying about. We need to let it go and trust God to take care of things for us. No, He is not suddenly going to make all the needed repairs, but I believe that He can keep them going until we do have the finances to repair or replace them.

This right here is where our focus needs to be, on God and His kingdom and His righteousness. If our focus is on God, then it is not on the things that concern us. I have found that mostly what I worry about doesn’t even end up happening, so I am choosing to let go, one day, one hour, one minute at a time and believe that God is taking care of it for me.

That being said, I would appreciate prayers for our upcoming trips to graduations. Thank you in advance and God bless you!
