We have been watching the T.V. show, Commander In Chief. A show about the first female President. There is a lot of scenes where she is in The Situation Room discussing problems. Then there are some parts where she is just sitting in the Oval Office taking it all in. I imagined last night that we have a "Situation Room" in our Spiritual life, plus a "Oval Office." There were a few questions I asked myself. " Does God spend all His time in The Situation Room? Worrying, planning how He is going to get His children out of a situation. OR does He spend His time in the "Oval Office?" Sitting there, pictures of His miracles all around Him, not worrying, knowing that everything will be ok.
Of course I then asked myself where I spend my time? Do I spend it worrying, or taking it all in? Anybody who knows me, can answer that question. I worry...ALL THE TIME, but thanks to the Lord's conviction.....that will change.
If you have accepted Jesus then you are a Child Of God.
1 John 3:1- How great the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called Children Of God.
God doesn't want us to worry. This is what God says about worry.
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Matthew 6:31.
Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? 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, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. Matthew 6:27-29
Worry weighs a person down; an encouraging word cheers a person up. Proverbs 12:25.
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? Matthew 6:30.
Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7.
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? Matthew 6:25.
So don't worry about these things, saying, 'What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?' These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. Matthew 6:31-33.
Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you. 1 Peter 5:7.
