Thoughts on Today's Verse

There are many verses in the bible that tells us not to worry, but this particular verse is peculiar as it proffers an interesting solution. Worry and anxiety sap us of both physical, mental and spiritual energy. We could hardly concentrate nor think any productive thoughts. With all of its attendant ugly health consequences a Christian must never indulge in the sin of worry. It is a sin because it replaces faith with fear. If we can trust in God's omniscience and omnipotence; in his love and steadfastness over us, we will never allow Satan to deprive us of our joy. More so, we can give the antidote for worry. Many people wallow in depression for want of company. They have nobody to confide with. No one who can understand their plight without judging them.

Will you be that someone today? Let us commit to going out of our ways to look out for others who are languishing in worry and anxiety and cheer them up through the word of God.

PRAYER: father thank you for the assurance in your word. Grant me grace to always look up to your promises instead of giving in to worry. Help me also to be a source of cheerfulness to people around me as I encourage them with your word regularly , through Christ JESUS, Amen!
