Why we should worry less?
In the Old Testament and New Testament God is constantly telling us not to worry. So, we have been looking into this more and more and we concluded. There are two scriptures that bare very similar themes we have found. The first is from the Old Testament in Proverbs 3 v 5 to 6 shown below.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”
The second scripture is in the book of Matthew which is outlined in the New Testament. Here is the scripture Matthew 6:25-34 shown below.
“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?
It is like God has been pulling his hair out and has always told us don’t worry from Old Testament times to New Testament times. Obviously God doesn’t pull his hair out he is God, that was our poor attempt at humour. But the point is the Lord has given us clear instruction to not worry, to not lean on our own understanding and let God look after us ensuring our paths are straight.
Yes we are saying that in Proverbs 3 v 5 to 6, is the Old Testament version of the Lord saying do not worry. Unfortunately we do worry, but today we are here to challenge you, stop worrying about things and trust the Lord to provide for your needs, when you start trusting the Lord as if you are little children you will see God show up in your life, and as he provides your faith in him will grow and grow.
Pray on this and start trusting the Lord he can help you.
