Don't Worry! Be JOYful!
Wouldn’t it be great to never have to worry or plan ahead or take care of details? At one time, each of us enjoyed that kind of luxury…when we were newborn babies. Little ones, of course, don’t realize how great they’ve got it. They have adults running around like crazy, trying to anticipate their every need. Everyone’s schedule is ruled by when the baby needs to eat, sleep, needs a bath or a change of clothes. The whole family alters their plan to accommodate little Sam or Sara! And what’s so funny is that the babies don’t even realize it!
They are “anxious for nothing”…because they don’t know any different. And then they grow up and become like us---anxious about many things. But do we have to worry and fret? Paul says not. Listen to the verses in Philippians 4:6-7 (NKJV)
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 understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Paul is teaching that we do have a choice…to worry or not to worry. The passage says for us to let our requests be made known to God…with thanksgiving. He is able to take away all the worry and replace it with that sweet peace. That sounds like a pretty good swap to me! Exchange your worries for JOY!
Our Heavenly Father wants to take care of every detail of your life…allow Him to pour His JOY into you and through you.
