Summary: When we worry and trust only in our self effort and don’t trust in Gods endless capabilities, Even though by the world’s standards we may achieve some form of success, we are spiritually all sitting in the poorhouse and starving ourselves to death!

Letting go of the Unknown

As we go through life, we learned to deal with different things involved with Adulting! Some are known and some are unknown. The ones that we know about we think that we can deal with usually and when we can’t we call on the Lord and expect him to come running to our rescue!

Which, if we are to be truthful! Countless thousands of times, the Lord has come to our rescue in our lifetimes! But, it seems as there’s always a butt doesn’t?

But when we don’t know what the Unknown, of a situation is going to lead too, we have a hard time processing, because we want to know!

We think it’s hard enough to let go of what we do know, let alone what we don’t know! And in doing so, what that does is. Make a statement of our faith to God, that we are willing to rest in the fact that he knows, and In, his ability, alone, and not our own!

For those of you who think that resting sounds like an easy thing to do, as it is something we all like to do. When it comes to our spiritual concerns, and our relationship with the Lord, it’s not as easy as One might think!

That’s why people become anxious. That’s why people get nervous and get anxiety about situations and there outcomes.

Matthew 11:28-30 

“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”

We’ve all heard the old expression. “give it a rest“ in essence that’s what the Lord is telling us to do! The Lord says make it easy on yourself and let me (thats the key right there, when he says, let me) Have faith in me, trust me and not your own understanding!

And if we need to be truthful and honest with our self, how much in life do we really understand? Oh yes, we think we have a lot of understanding of how things work, but how much do we understand?

Can you see the wind, no, but you think you understand, yet you have no idea where it comes from and still trust completely in it!

How about electricity? You understand, it’s ability to shock you and to light your path, or heat and cool your home.but if you were put on the spot to create it, could you?

There comes a time in every Christians relationship that they claim to have with Jesus and the Almighty God. That they have to lay all their concerns down and their worries and leave them at the feed of Jesus, and walk away!

By faith come to realize how much the Lord really really wants to do for and will do for them! Over and over and over time in and time out again!

Psalms 143:8-10 NIV

Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,?    for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go,?    for to you I entrust my life.

9  Rescue me from my enemies, Lord,?    for I hide myself in you.

10 Teach me to do your will, for you are my God;?may your good Spirit lead me on level ground.

To trust or not to trust, that is the question. And the decision that is made between those two choices, is what either gives you sweet peace of mind, or makes you worry, from worry to worry your whole life through!

Zephaniah 3:17 NIV

The Lord your God is with you,?    the Mighty Warrior who saves.?He will take great delight in you;?    in his love he will no longer rebuke you,?    but will rejoice over you with singing.

I absolutely love how it says, and what it says not only in that scripture, but in multiple scriptures in the Bible. How the Lord, is always with you and celebrates and sings because of you when you trust in His ability to deliver His promises and keep His word to you!

TBS.(the Bible says) in Mark 6:34 NKJ

34. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

I hear you, I hear what your saying, but what about the ?what ifs??

You know, what if this, that and might happen tomorrow?

What about the what ifs?

TBS. (the bible says) let the what ifs, worry about the what ifs!

That sounds like a fabulous idea, doesn?t it? Let what ifs worry about the what ifs! And that?s exactly what every believer should do.
