Anixious or Trust

Good Morning to all who may read this. I was setting here this morning starting my regular day I was thinking about my new memory verse for this week when I realized what it is all about for me and thought I would share it with each of you. To start with let me share with you what the verse is. You will find it amongest the Sermon on the Mount. Everyone of us at one time or the other have referred back to it when we have had times of difficulty or a friend that is in need we remind them of it. But do we really understand what Jesus is trying to tell us in this scripture. My verse is just the being of this great message because I set it in my heart to memorized the whole passage because the passage is that important to me.

Matthew 6:25 ESV
Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?

Now do me a favor to get the whole point of this will you pick up your Bible and read the remaining verses because that is where Jesus give us the anwser to His beginning question.

As I was thinking about the scriptures this morning God reminded me that it is all about TRUST. How many of us really TRUST God to do what he says. I mean really take a minute and look deep into your heart, soul, mind and strenght and tell me do you TRUST God. I will be honest here at this point with you. I can say I have talked a good talk and said oh yes I trust him with my life. I have referred to these scriptures as my favorite because it tells me that God will provide for me because if he will provide for the sparrow and lilies he will provide for me. But yet I still will start to look at the check book and the bills as they start coming in, or something breaks down (like my jeep now) and still worry about it. People say "Oh that is just human" and yes it is, but even if it is human I am God's child and he tells me "DO NOT BE ANXIOUS"

So this is where the truth comes out. If I say I want to "Love the Lord with all my heart, with all my soul, with all of my mind and with all of my strength" that means I have to totally trust him also. Totally trusting someone is difficult for some of us because here on this earth we have all been hurt by someone at one point in time in our life. "Oh that is just human" yep there is those words again. But as before we are children of God, our ABBA FATHER, the one that is not going to break his promises that one that we are to Trust.

I have put all my TRUST in him because that is all I have. He will keep his promise so when He says.

"Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anixous for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." Matthew 6:34

Then that is a fact and His PROMISE to me and to you that "ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE" for my LORD.

How about you are you going to be anixious or are you going to TRUST.

The Beginning of a new year

I know this title my be a little late considering what I am entering if concerning my Bible verse that I committed to memorize for the first of January. But I have join Beth and a lot of my other Siestas in memorizing scripture for the year 2009. My first scripture is the one that was the main focus at Breakaway this year and it has stuck with me ever since. It was a total break through. I have heard and know this scripture for a while and I am sure many other people know it also but when you really read it and study it you can get so much more out of it and that is what happened with me in that week. Here is it.

Mark 12:30 ESV
And you shall love the LORD your GOD with all your heart, and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.

As you see this is a very simple verse, but what we have to understand is that GOD loves us this way. With ALL HIS HEART, with ALL HIS SOUL, with ALL HIS MIND and with ALL HIS STRENGTH. We are to accept this and then once we have accepted this take another look at our lives and LOVE HIM back in the same way. This is my committment to HIM for the new year. No New Years resolutions just a new committment to my ABBA FATHER, which it this.

And I shall LOVE the LORD my GOD with ALL MY HEART, and with ALL MY SOUL and with ALL MY MIND and with ALL MY STRENGHT.

This is the only way I know how to start my new year. Giving my all to HIM who STRENGTHENS me.
