No worries!
''GIVE...YOUR WORRIES...TO GOD...'' 1 PETER 5:7
Kelly was a big time worrier, she was always thinking about what could go wrong! One day her mum said, 'Do you realize that 80% of the things you worry about never happen?' 'See,' Kelly replied, 'See! it works!' Talk about getting the wrong end of the stick! Check out what Jesus said, '"...don't get worked up about what may...happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever...come up..."' (Matthew 6:34 TM). Worry doesn't get rid of tomorrow's problems, it just robs today of any happiness.
A salesman who usually drove an old banger and wore outdated clothes turned up at his office one day in a designer suit, driving a BMW. 'What happened?' his mate asked. 'Remember how I used to worry about everything?' he said, 'Well, I hired a team of professional worriers; now I tell them my problems and they do all my worrying while I go out and sell and make money.'
'How much do they charge?' his friend asked. '$5,000 a week,' he replied. 'You're kidding! How can you afford that?' his mate asked. Smiling he replied, 'That's their worry, not mine!'
Okay it's bad joke but wouldn't you like to have somebody to handle all your worries? Well, you do; His name is Jesus, and He said, '"If you are tired from carrying heavy burdens...I will give you rest"' (Matthew 11:28 CEV). God promised, '"...as your day is, so shall your strength...be"' (Deuteronomy 33:25 AMP). That's because He only gives us today's strength for today's needs. So instead of wasting today worrying about tomorrow, 'Give...your worries...to God...' (1 Peter 5:7 NLT), and get busy living the life He gave you to enjoy!
