Matthew 6:34 (NKJV) 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
Worrying is something we all struggle with at one or time or another.
Human nature likes to be able to see everything that’s ahead.
But God wants us to learn to live by faith in Him, not by faith in what we can see in front of us.
Learning to really live by faith is a tough transition for us, after being used to living by sight. But that’s God’s ultimate goal for us, to live and walk by faith in Him.
2 Corinthians 5:7 (NKJV) 7 For we walk by faith, not by sight.
If we’re constantly worrying, it means that we’re doubting Him, His word and His provision. That might sound harsh, but it’s the reality of it. When we look truthfully at worry, it is an outward manifestation of inward doubt.
Worry causes stress. Worry can cause us to lose faith and say things that we would not otherwise say. And worst of all, most of the things we worry about never actually happen.
So, as hard as it might seem, we need to let God build our faith in Him. We need to let Him strengthen our faith and help it grow, so we can learn to walk, trusting Him in everything we do.
So it’s time for us to stop doubting. And it’s time to let God take us by the hand and lead us, even through those places where we can’t see in front of us.
Matthew 14:31 (NKJV) 31 And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?”
