READ: PSALM
121:1-8
Worry is a
killer. Why worry about what you cannot keep? God is the Keeper. Worrying
amounts to usurping God’s authority and position. The man who worries is
carrying out an assignment God has not given him. Are your worries based on
your ear that God lacks the ability to keep what you have committed to His
hands? Are you trying to play God by worrying about the future? The future is
in God’s hands. Therefore, we want to examine from the Scriptures the fact that
when you worry, you only waste your time. Psalm 127:1-2 says: “Unless
the LORD builds the house, they labor in vain who build it; unless the LORD
guards the city, the watchman stays awake in vain. It is vain for you to rise
up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows; for so He gives His
beloved sleep.” If God decides not to keep a city, all the night guards
in the city will be busy wasting their time. If He decides not to take care of
you, you can worry for as long as you like, you will still get into trouble. However,
if you could surrender your life to Him, and obey Him by not worrying, you will
be able to enjoy your sleep at night. Only God can take care of you. A hundred
night guards cannot take care of you if witches are busy sucking your blood
while you are sleeping. However, when Jesus covers you with his blood, witches
and wizards and robbers will be kept at bay. He that is keeping me neither
sleep nor slumber. I believe God is able to take care of me. It does not matter
how much you worry, if God does not take care of you, there is nothing you can
do. Some people think they can secure their future. They believe their future
is secure by making as much money as possible. They always worry about how to
make more money. I believe that there is only one tomorrow that can be secure
and it is the one that is secured in Jesus Christ.
MEMORIZE:
PSALM 127:1 –Unless the LORD builds the house, they labor in vain who build it;
unless the LORD guards the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.
