Trust or Worry?

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? -Matthew 6:25

Did you know that there are more people in hospital beds because of worry than almost any other disease? Headaches, ulcers, heart attacks, mental disorders, and even the common cold can be brought on by worry.

Worry is the opposite of trust, and as a Christian you are called to put your trust in God’s direction for your life. One of the greatest pieces of advice ever given to humankind is from the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 6:25-33. Please, take your Bible and read it.

The decision to trust God or to carry the worries of the world yourself is up to you. Either road you decide to take requires an action decision on your part. One road leads to fulfillment and peace the other road leads to frustration and anxiety. By all means choose the road called trust! God’s Word has never been proven wrong. (Further Reading: Luke 10:41, Philippians 4:6, 1 Peter 5:7)
