Bible Verse of The Day – 4-21-15

Philippians 4:6 (NKJV) 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;

Do we have those days where we just want to run away from everything, everybody and all our responsibilities? Or maybe even move somewhere and start over, make new friends and get a new job and live in a brand new place. Just start over!

I think we all feel like this from time to time. We Just get tired of the same ole, same ole thing. We get tired of the fight it takes every day to keep things going, to keep people happy and to keep our heads above water.

Sometimes we don’t even know what needs to change. We just know that something needs to change, that we are not getting ahead and we can’t keep doing the same things any longer.

When we get to this point, it can cause us to get anxious. What does it mean to be anxious?

It means we’re afraid or nervous, especially about what may happen. We feel anxiety – Causing or showing fear or nervousness: wanting or eager to do or have something very much especially because of fear or nervousness.

We need to be reminded of this verse, and that God tells us to be anxious for nothing. That means nothing, not even for change.

It’s good when we know we need to make a change and we are more than willing to do it, but the balance to it is not to be afraid or nervous or anxious for the change to come.

Instead, embrace it, wait prayerfully and thankfully for God’s direction.

This is where we can get into trouble, if we let fear and nervousness dominate the situation. If we are not careful, we will open doors that God never intended for us to have opened or to walk through. Anxiousness can cause us to get ahead of God or outside of His will for us.

Many people are in the wrong place, doing the wrong thing today because of being anxious or being afraid. Maybe the change that needs to come is learning how to wait in the way He tells us to.

Psalm 27:14(NKJV) 14 Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!
