Bird Life is Worry Free….there is HOPE!
Matthew 6:25 – Don’t worry about your life. Look at the birds and study them.
What did Jesus mean by this statement?
Jesus never endorsed a passive, “what will be, will be” attitude.
There are legitimate concerns: unemployment, health concerns, death, loss, doctor’s reports, family problems, etc.
Three times in Matthew six Jesus says…DO NOT WORRY!
Look at the origin of the word “worry”. Very interesting…..
Origin of WORRY
Middle English worien, from Old English wyrgan; akin to Old High German wurgen to strangle, Lithuanian veržti to constrict. Hmmmmm….to strangle or to constrict.
Stress is harmful to our bodies and shortens our lives. DO NOT WORRY is a command!!! Birds don’t take nerve pills.
Some things can help our situation like….work, planning, evaluating, etc….BUT WORRY NEVER MAKES OUR SITUATIONS BETTER!!!
WORRY IS DOWN PAYMENT ON A PROBLEM YOU MAY NEVER EVEN HAVE. Joyce Meyer
Don’t lose sleep over things that never will happen!!!
WORRY DOESN’T TREAT YOUR SITUATION LIKE A CAMERA, BUT LIKE A DARKROOM, BECAUSE IT DEVELOPS OFF THE NEGATIVE. Unknown
Worry feeds off the negative thoughts racing through our minds.
WORRY DOES NOT EMPTY TOMORROW OF ITS SORROW, IT EMPTIES TOMORROW OF ITS STRENGTH. Corrie Ten Boom
We have medical proof that worry can not only add a single day to your life, but it can take time off our lives!!!!
God’s greatness up in heaven has to be translated to our lives here on earth!
If you have trusted God with your salvation, He can be trusted with all the other issues.
In Gen 12, God calls Abraham to go to a land that He showed Him and then God stopped talking. God didn’t give Abraham advance details.
God knew Abraham would trust in the plan, rather than in the PERSON that was giving the plan!
When God told Moses to stand before Pharoah….He simply told Moses, …”Tell him I AM has sent me.” No small details…just I AM!
Peter was in a boat and the storm arose. Jesus came walking on the water. (Matthew 14) Peter began to question Jesus. Jesus said, “Come”. No details. Just one word.
Learn to worship and trust a God who doesn’t always tell you the details.
He had the plans for Abraham, Moses, Peter and others before any of them faced the first dilemma.
He has all the plans worked out! He has all the details worked out beforehand!!! Just because God doesn’t show you the details, doesn’t mean He doesn’t have them.
He cares enough about the bird, to make sure the bird gets the worm. No bird has the intellectual capacity than you!!! No bird is as smart as you!!! If God cares for the flowers, how much more does He love you?
If there’s something you can do about your burden, do it. If there’ s nothing you can do about it, worship through it. But whatever I do, I don’t have to carry it, because Jesus died to remove my burdens.
When worship goes up (God’s value) worry goes down. Our daily relationship with our Heavenly Father is our strength through challenging times.
Set your minds on what it means to belong to Jesus Christ and to face life’s adversities with the Greater One!
Sometimes, it’s about PERSPECTIVE!!! From where God sits, the manuscript is already finished!!! Just because you don’t see it, doesn’t mean that it’s not done! Break the spirit of anxiety and worry!
Our Father knows, and our Fathers hears, and our Father cares!
Jesus has already died…He has already risen!!! Walk in the Confidence of Jesus Christ today! Everything that concerns you is already completed!!!
