Don't Fear

"Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof."  Matthew 6:34 KJV

In other words, the Bible (the Word of God), instructs us not to concern ourselves with all the cares and concerns of this life. The negative news media on reports of terror, doom, crime, and much more.

Remember, yesterday is gone, tomorrow has not yet come, so let us live, thinking wholesome thoughts.

"This is the day that the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24 KJV    Instead of rejoicing and trusting in the Lord God, and His mighty power, provision, and deliverance from fear, many have fears such as, how they will pay their way. Many fear that they may get sick, and not be able to work. Many fear for the future of their children. Many have all types of fears.

The reason for all these fears is, because, as Psalm 20:7 KJV says, "Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God." In modern terms we would say, "Some trust in banks, credit cards, and help programs, but, we will trust in the Name of the Lord our God." What is money anyway? It is a means by which to pay our way. If we do not have money, but trust in the Lord, we will have provision in every way. 
I have seen God's provision for more than 40 years. I firmly believe that when we trust in the LORD, and HIS provision, then we will not have concerns, and unnecessary worries. Worry is like a sin, when we say to the Lord, "I do not believe that you can take care of me." It is insulting to GOD.  

The LORD says in His Word, in Jeremiah 29:11 KJV  "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." An expected end to what? To your fears, worries, or whatever else it may be.
