Therefore do not worry about tomorrow

When I was a child I remember that my mother lived in worry and fear most of her life.   She lived her entire life on the negative side her conversation always reflected the negative thoughts that was on her mind and possessed her heart.

She always worried about bad things happening to her and her children she lived in constant fear of horrible things that might happen in and to her family.

Even after me and my brother married wife’s and had a family of our own every time she heard the news of car wrecks or other bad things that happened in the cities where we lived, she would call us in the early hours of the morning or sometimes late at night to inquire if we were all right.

Well you know one can waste their life away worrying and being afraid of the unknown or what might happen, so much so that they do not live in the good things that do happen.

Life is way too short to spend it worrying and being fearful of things that might be or could be we need to live in the positive and not the negative.  

We all live with both the good and the bad things that can and do happen every day of our lives.   And we can choose to live with the positive and reject the negative, we can speak the positive or the negative and the outcome will be exactly as we think or speak.

The Lord God by His spoken word created the universe,heavens,earth,humans and all living creatures and by His word said all things was good.   The bad began to happen when Satan appeared on earth speaking his lies and human creatures began to listen and believe them.

The Holy Bible tells us that God created we humans in His own image therefore He put a lot of power in our tongues what we say can affect the things that happen in our lives as well the lives of others.   The scripture reminds us to carefully guard our tongues because the words that we speak can be harmful to us.

Those who guard their mouths and their tongues keep themselves from calamity.   Proverbs 21:23

It is God’s purpose for all of us that we have a good,healthy and prosperous life and we all have a lot to do with how our lives turn out.   It is true that with the good also comes the bad and evil to all of us because bad and evil is in this present world and it touches us all from time to time.

But God’s word promises us that His word is the final say and He said that He would even turn the bad that happens to us into good for us.

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.   Romans 8:28 (KJV)

There are only three voices and tongues that can speak bad or evil into our lives and if we are careful to silence them we can live our lives as God intended worry free fearing no one or anything being always happy in the power and presence of the Lord our God.

The first negative voice that affects us all, comes from Satan reject him commit yourself to God and he will flee from you.   The second is from our own tongues guard them with the power of faith and you cannot hurt you.   The third is the tongues and voices of other humans pay them no mind and they cannot prevail against you because the most powerful tongue and voice of all is in control, always has been in control, and always will be in control of what happens to your life.   But be aware that He will not control your tongue or force the words you speak he put that under your control and mine, we are free to speak words of faith or words of doubt and the consequences of our words will be on us, we will always reap the seeds that we sow.

Jesus promise to all who will believe, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid”.             John 14:27

So be happy don’t worry, live happy live by faith and that faith in the word of God and His Son the Lord Jesus Christ and when it’s your time to go through the valley of the shadow of death die happy because Jesus goes with you leading you through the place that He has already gone, and in your eternity you shall have happiness that God created you to have in the kingdom of His dear Son.

Worry and fear causes more stress, health problems more heart attacks more unhappiness and shortens more lives with death than anything else in this world.

"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.   John 14:1-6 (NIV)

 "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?    Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?    Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life ?    "And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin.    Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.    If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?    So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'    For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.    But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.    Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.   Matthew 6:25-34 (NIV)
