untroubled

John 14:1 "Don't let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me.


Matthew 6:25 "That is why I tell you don't worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear.


Matthew 11:28 Then Jesus said, "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.


These are just 3 place in the Bible, amongst a whole lot of places, where Jesus basically tells us to not sweat it.

He's got this.

He's got us covered.

The God of the universes, who knows everything, who is so blindingly holy, who is all powerful, in control of everything, & is the very essence of love, says to each of us over & over again...

I'm going to take care of you.”


So why don't we rust Him with that?

Why do we constantly worry, fret, try & figure out how to make things ok?

Why don't we just let go of our lives, our worries, our cares, or the areas of our lives & the places we live, & just trust Him with it all?

Maybe we don't really trust Him to come through for us.

Or maybe we're just stupid?


Today, let's whisper these words of Jesus to ourselves when life seems impossible...


Don't let your heart be troubled.”

and...

Don't worry about your everyday life.”
