Psalm 125: 1 Those who trust in the LORD are as secure as Mount Zion; they will not be defeated but will endure forever. 2 Just as the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people, both now and forever.
Luke 12: 4 "Dear friends, don't be afraid of those who want to kill your body; they cannot do any more to you after that.
22b don't worry about everyday life - whether you have enough food to eat or enough clothes to wear. 23 For life is more than food, and your body more than clothing.
25 Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? 26 And if worry can't accomplish a little thing like that, what's the use of worrying over bigger things?
29 "And don't worry about what to eat and what to drink. Don't worry about such things. 30 These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers all over the world, but your Father already knows your needs. 31 Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and he will give you everything you need.
32 "So don't be afraid, little flock. For it gives your Father great happiness to give you the Kingdom.
I think our Abba Father doesn't want us to be afraid. Whatcha think?
Why are we afraid? Why do we worry?
Bottom line, we just don't think He's gonna come through & really take care of us. That we're "on our own" in this life, & the only person we can really trust to take care of us, to lok out for us, is ourselves.
The older I get, the more "whatever" is the better attitude to take with the lives we live for Him. I've given up trying to explain mine. And I'm beginning to get to the point, especialy after this year of 2008, that "whatev' " is my atttude.
Over & over again this year, He's said to me,
"don't cling to your life"
"don't worry about your life"
"I both precede & follow you"
"sink your roots deep into Me"
He says over & over again in Luke 12 - "don't worry"
If the God of the universes says to us, "don't worry," wouldn't it make sense to not worry?
