« NKJV “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me »
« Amplified “Do not let your heart be troubled (afraid, cowardly). Believe [confidently] in God and trust in Him, [have faith, hold on to it, rely on it, keep going and] believe also in Me »
« CEV Jesus said to his disciples, “Don’t be worried! Have faith in God and have faith in me »
25 “So I tell you, don’t worry about the things you need to live—what you will eat, drink, or wear. Life is more important than food, and the body is more important than what you put on it.
26 Look at the birds. They don’t plant, harvest, or save food in barns, but your heavenly Father feeds them. Don’t you know you are worth much more than they are?
27 You cannot add any time to your life by worrying about it.
28 “And why do you worry about clothes? Look at the wildflowers in the field. See how they grow. They don’t work or make clothes for themselves.
29 But I tell you that even Solomon, the great and rich king, was not dressed as beautifully as one of these flowers.
30 If God makes what grows in the field so beautiful, what do you think he will do for you? It’s just grass—one day it’s alive, and the next day someone throws it into a fire. But God cares enough to make it beautiful. Surely he will do much more for you. Your faith is so small!
31 “Don’t worry and say, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear?’
32 That’s what those people who don’t know God are always thinking about. Don’t worry, because your Father in heaven knows that you need all these things.
33 What you should want most is God’s kingdom and doing what he wants you to do. Then he will give you all these other things you need.
34 So don’t worry about tomorrow. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Tomorrow will have its own worries.
Friends stronger than siblings
In our memory verse for today, the words Let not your heart be troubled simply mean Don’t worry.
- Whenever the Bible says “Don’t worry” it means there is something that could cause a person some anxiety.
Whenever you hear God say “Fear not” it means there is something frightening around.
The Bible says in Matthew 6:31 that you should not worry because that is what the heathens (unbelievers) do.
- If you really have faith in God, if you really believe He loves you, then you should not worry about anything.
The God that feeds the birds in the air is capable of feeding you too.
The God that clothes the lilies in the field so beautifully will clothe you too.
If you are sure that He is your Father indeed, then you have no reason to worry.
The son of a billionaire is never worried about what to eat or what to wear.
Your Father is not just a billionaire – all the gold and silver in the world is His, Haggai 2:8.
He promised in John 14:14 that if you ask for anything in His name, He will give it to you; anything means ANYTHING.
While He has promised to give us whatever we ask of Him, we must however, not be lazy.
I have discovered that some Christians are lazy.
There are jobs I have given to Christians to do and they charged much higher than the normal fee, yet didn’t deliver on time and did the work shabbily.
A similar job given to an unbeliever would not only cost less, but would be thoroughly done and delivered within the agreed timeframe.
2 Thessalonians 3:10 says God does not support laziness and anyone who is lazy should not eat.
Anyone who calls himself or herself a Christian and is lazy is not a child of God,
and so the Lord is not under any obligation to provide for him or her.
There are many people who sit around all day saying they haven’t found a job, that is why they are not working.
What a lazy attitude!
Get up and find something productive to do with your time.
Look within you; there must be one skill you have that you can use to meet other people’s needs.
If you remain focused and continue to improve yourself, you will definitely begin to earn some income from it sooner or later.
Years ago, there was a man who didn’t find a job so he started frying akara (bean cakes) by the road and within months, had bought two motorcycles and was earning income from them.
God has promised to bless the work of your hands, Deuteronomy 28:12, but you must first show Him the work.
Application – Don’t worry. Believe in God and He will provide all your needs, as long as you are not lazy.
