Bible Question: What three things are we told not to be worried about, and why |
Bible Answer: Deacon, We are told at least three things not to worry about, that are listed here in Luke 12 and also in Matthew 6: Food, Drink, and Clothing. We are told that the kingdoms of the world seek after these things and are preoccupied with meeting their physical needs and so have their mind about the physical world. God does not what His people to be occupied with these things, He calls them to look at the natural world and see that God’s care provides for even the least of creation, the flowers and the birds, how much more does he love us. Matt 6:31 "Do not worry then, saying, 'What will we eat?' or 'What will we drink?' or 'What will we wear for clothing?' And more than these three things we are called not to worry about; Our LIFE: Luke 12:22 And He said to His disciples, "For this reason I say to you, do not worry about your LIFE... The FUTURE: Matt 6:34 "So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. What we will SPEAK when persecuted: Mark 13:11 "When they arrest you and hand you over, do not worry beforehand about what you are to say, but say whatever is given you in that hour; for it is not you who speak, but it is the Holy Spirit. ANYTHING: Phil 4:6-7 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. God does not us to worry about ANYTHING… Because He loves us, and cares for us, and is with us and is helping us, what do we have to worry about. All we need to do is trust Him. But we must trust in Him. It should be noted this does not mean that we act in complete disregard to our physical needs, anything about this earthly life, the future, or what we say to others, or anything else for that matter. These are things that should be approached with certain degrees of reverence, respect to the specific situation, and given to Christ, but not worried about, distressed about, we don’t have to do that, because we have the Living God of all-power with us, who has called us to lay all of our burdens upon Him because He loves us. 1 Peter 5:7 casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you. So we are free to be the person God has called us to be in Christ. -royfish316 |
