Put Worry to Flight

Just keep in mind: the more we value things outside our control, the less control we have. Epictetus

When Daniel got news of the kings new edict on 'worship' all he did was pray like before. God saved him. Amen!

Fire and water! Light and darkness! Though linked together by the 'and' the truth is these 2 items just don't go together, no way, no how. One will always overshadow/overpower the other. Thinking along these lines should give us a greater understanding of why God tells us not to worry. Why, because worship and worry cannot inhabit our heart at the same time. They, like the others mentioned above can't dwell together. If I'm truly worshiping, I'm not worrying. If I'm worried sick I'm not worshiping. Life will always present anxious or troubling moments to us, and what's in our heart will dictate our response. God's Word will bring calm, praise, worship, and prayer, putting worry to flight. So, the question is what are we actually 'hiding' in our hearts.

Until Monday...

Pastor Botts

"Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?" - Matthew 6:27
