January 15 Dont Worry! Kenneth Copeland Therefore do not worry and be anxious. Matthew 6:31, The Amplified Bible God is vehemently against worry. Jesus preached against it. Paul preached against it. The whole Bible preaches against worry because it was designed by Satan to produce stress, strain and death. Yet many of us still act as if its an option, as if were free to worry if we want to. But were not! Worrying is a sin. Its one of those things the Word of God directly commands us not to do. What are you supposed to do then with all the concerns you have about your problems? In 1 Peter 5:7, God says you should cast them all upon Him. All. Not 75 percent of them. Not all of them but the ones about your kids. All of them! Your confession every morning should be, I do not have a care in this world because Ive cast every one of them onto my Lord. Let me illustrate how that works. Lets say you were standing about 20 feet away from me and I tossed my car keys to you. If someone else were to come to me and say, Brother Copeland, I need the keys to your car. I need to use it, I would say, I cant help you. I cast my keys over on him. I dont have them anymore. Thats what you need to do with your worries. You need to cast them over on the Lord and not take them back. If Satan brings a worried thought to your mind, saying, What if this terrible thing happens? then you can tell him to talk to God about it. Its in His hands, not yours! Once you do that, changes will start to take place in your life. Problems youve been fretting about for years will start being solved. Youll no longer be tying Gods hands with your worrying. His power can begin to operate because youve acted in faith and cast your cares on Him! Remember, though, God will not take your cares away from you. You have to give them to Him. Then you have to replace those worries with the Word. You are the one who has to keep your thoughts under control. But you can do it. The Greater One dwells within you. He is able to put you over. Commit to it. Youll never have to worry again. Scripture Reading: Psalm 55 - See more at: kcm.org/read/faith-to-faith#sthash.k7eN4RbX.dpuf
