Bible Question:
Hi, I'm wondering about worry. Because a big part of my life is worry. Even though I gave my life to Christ already, it has been better but worry still seems to be there. You know how the bible says "donot worry, for worries will take care of themselves?" let me ask, how does worry take care of it's self if you dont worry? You know what I mean? Becuase I want feel pure joy, I want to feel great it's always not easy. So how does worry take care of it's self? If you could respond with your own heart in mind and some bible references. Thank You. Jason |
Bible Answer: So do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own. Sufficient for each day is its own trouble. AMPLIFIED Matthew 6:34 You ask: 'You know how the bible says "do not worry, for worries will take care of themselves?"...So how does worry take care of it's self (sic)?' Actually the Bible never says "worries will take care of themselves." What it does says is: "Tomorrow will worry about itself" (NIV) or, in the King James Version, "...for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof" Matthew 6:34b. Matthew 6:25-34 (NIV) 25 "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? 26 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? 27 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? 28 "And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 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? 31 So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Philippians 4:6 (NIV) Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 1 Peter 5:7 (NIV) Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. |
