Worry
Posted: Tue Sep 18, 2012 9:19 am
I was just thinking about the different thoughts that come to mind on a day to day basis. I will never doubt, because experience reconciles with Scripture, that there is a fleshly man present. But, there is also Spirit. When we commit fully to the Lord, He matches our commitment in His relationship and will always be a Helping presence.
Scripture has to be our guideline in my opinion. Being God-breathed, the Word can offer an understanding of the Holiness of the Lord, His character, and an understanding of His purpose for His subjects/children. When thoughts come into our mind that the Bible speaks about specifically, we can trust that to be true. When the Lord says, "be anxious for nothing, but..." I really believe it's true. Do you? If you do I believe that is a logical conclusion.
When thoughts come to mind that make me anxious, make me worry, I say we need to commit those to the Lord and trust that as His servant, steward, and child, that He has a purpose and plan. If that involves testing/tribulation, then so be it because it is for our benefit (Cf. James). If it is blessing, then trust Him to work things out. Worrying can take up so much of my brain cycles and I think releasing that will be a better allocation of the resources I would be a steward of.
