I spite of all the negative political and economic news in the media today, it is possible to live a worry free life. This does not mean that all our problems miraculously disappear but that we do not need to worry about them. The Bible tells us in Matthew 6:33-34:
33 and he will give you all you need from day to day if you live for him and make the Kingdom of God your primary concern.
34 "So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today.
NLT
Living worry free means not committing our lives to our finances but unto God. This is difficult to do because secular teaching teaches us to focus on our careers, working hard and earning lots of money. This does not mean that these things are not important but they are not to be the primary focus of our lives. Worry free living means having ones priorities straight with God on top.
As a benefit of seeking God first we have our needs met and can live worry free lives. Our blessed worry free life glorifies God and its witness will lead others to want a relationship with Christ. Therefore, as you go about your tasks this week, remember to have the Kingdom of God as your primary focus. It is only then that everything else will fall in place and we can have peace in our lives.
Until next week and may God bless you.
