Worry is interest paid on doubt and trouble before it is due...

Worry is interest paid on doubt and trouble before it is due.

…No one is able to serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will hold to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. Because of this I say to you, do not be anxious about your life as to what you shall eat and what you shall drink; nor about your body as to what you shall wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Observe the birds of heaven: they do not sow, neither do they reap, nor do they gather into granaries; and your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much better than they?

…But who among you, by taking careful thought, is able to add one cubit (add length to his life) to his stature? And why are you anxious about clothing? Observe the lilies of the field, how they grow: they do not labor, nor do they spin; But I say to you, not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these. Now if God so arrays the grass of the field, which today is and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall He not much rather clothe you, O you of little faith?

…Therefore, do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'With what shall we be clothed?' For the nations seek after all these things. And your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things.

…But as for you, seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore, do not be anxious about tomorrow; for tomorrow shall take care of the things of itself. Sufficient for the day is the evil of that day…

(Mat 6:24-34)

…Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled…Do not be anxious about anything; but by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God in everything; And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus…And I say to you, ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; and the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, it shall be opened. But which of you who is a father, if a son shall ask for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he shall ask for a fish, will give him a serpent instead of a fish? Or if he shall ask for an egg, will give him a scorpion? Therefore if you, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Father Who is in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?

(Mat 5:6 Php 4:6-7 Luk 11:9-13)

When you worry…you think about the tomorrow today…then on the day of (tomorrow) you worry it will come out as planned hoping for the best and having planned for the worse…then after it is over you worry could I have done better…why not trust Jesus for the details…pray about it and leave it at the feet of Jesus?

 

Why do you entertain the doubt…when you can know the truth you hunger and thirst for…

…Therefore, Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in Him, If you continue in My word, you are truly My disciples. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free…All Scripture is God-breathed and is profitable for doctrine, for conviction, for correction, for instruction in righteousness; So that the man of God may be complete, fully equipped for every good work…the same manner, you younger men be subject to the older men; and all of you be subject to one another, being clothed with humility because

…God sets Himself against the proud, but He gives grace to the humble. Be humbled therefore under the mighty hand of God so that He may exalt you in due time…Casting all your cares upon Him…because He cares for you…

…Be sober! Be vigilant! For your adversary the devil is prowling about as a roaring lion, seeking anyone he may devour. Whom resist, steadfast in the faith (not entertaining his offer or lies), knowing that the same afflictions are being fulfilled among your brethren who are in the world. Now may the God of all grace, Who has called us unto His eternal glory in Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little while, Himself perfect you, establish, strengthen, and settle you. To Him be the glory and the power into the ages of eternity…Amen.

(Joh 8:31-32 2Ti 3:16-17 1Pe 5:5-11)

We must be trusting in the Truth of His word as a child does his dad…daddy Jesus may I…daddy Jesus will you…daddy Jesus I forgave them but they hurt me…this is how we develop faith and a godly character fit for Heaven our home.

 

Faith makes it possible not easy…

… Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, and the conviction of things not seen… So then, faith comes by hearing, and hearing through the Word of God…Now without faith it is impossible to please God. For it is mandatory for the one who comes to God to believe that He exists, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

(Heb 11:1 Rom 10:17 Heb 11:6)

Is not faith in Jesus similar to…believing Australia is a real island…having never been there but believe the truth I have heard and read about Australia?

 

We need to develop fruit for God not become fruit inspectors of others…

…Enter in through the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter through it; For narrow the gate and difficult is the way that leads to life, and few are those who find it. But beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing, for within they are ravening wolves. You shall know them by their fruits. They do not gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles, do they?

…In the same way, every good tree produces good fruit, but a corrupt tree produces evil fruit. A good tree cannot produce evil fruit, nor can a corrupt tree produce good fruit. Every tree that is not producing good fruit is cut down and is cast into the fire. Therefore, you shall assuredly know them by their fruits… But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, meekness, self-control; against such things there is no law…According as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him Who called us by His own glory and virtue; Through which He has given to us the greatest and most precious promises, that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust…

…And for this very reason also, having applied all diligence besides…add to your faith, virtue; and to virtue, knowledge; And to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, endurance; and to endurance, godliness; And to godliness, brotherly love; and to brotherly love, the love of God. For if these things exist and abound in you, they will cause you to be neither lacking effort nor lacking fruit in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

(Mat 7:13-20 Gal 5:22-23 2Pe 1:3-8)

Jesus is like the tree in this joke…what did the tree say to the squirrel…I am rooting for you. Jesus will help you become a fruitful tree but you have to follow the truth and do right by God and fellow man.

 

Prayer

Father we renounce satan and his forbidden fruit found in his kingdom…please fill our hunger and thirst for being right before You producing fruits for Your Only Son Jesus…In Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen (Acts 22:8)
