Why We Shouldn't Worry

by Daniel N. Brown

Do you worry? Are you concerned about your future to the
point where it steals your joy? Jesus said in Matthew 6:25,
“Take no thought for your life.” 

That seems simple enough, but for some reason we don’t get
it. We think we have to run our own lives and make things
happen. If something isn’t going right we think we have to
fix it. There’s nothing more frustrating than trying to make
something happen that is never meant to happen.  

I’ve heard it said that if you try to teach a pig to sing,
it will frustrate you and irritate the pig. If that pig is
meant to sing God will lead him to sing without your help. 

Sometimes, we are to just take our hands off of things and
let God take care of it. Let Him do what only He can do and
not worry about the outcome. Believe that He has your best
interest in mind for He has a wonderful plan for each
believer (Jeremiah 29:11).

God wants to govern our lives. When we become saved, the
Holy Spirit comes to live in our hearts and wants full
control. We must die to the flesh and give Him that control
or else we will be fighting against Him. James 4:6 says,
“God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”

Read Mathew 6:19-34 where Jesus is saying, “Take no thought
for your life.” Ask God to make it alive to you so that you
can fully grasp this portion of Scripture. We are meant to
be free of stress, reasoning, worry and everything else that
can weigh us down. And, taking on too much care for our own
lives certainly will weigh us down.

God is our Heavenly Father who cares for us. So, we don’t
have to worry, struggle to figure everything out, or even
try to make things happen. God wants us to dwell in His
"secret place" and abide under His shadow (Psalm 91:1)
as we cast all of our care upon Him (1 Peter 5:7). 

The bottom line is: Take no thought for your life (Matthew
6:25), be anxious for nothing (Philippians 4:6) , and be
still and know that He is God (Psalm 46:10), for He will
keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Him,
because he trusts in Him” (Isaiah 26:3).
