So thankful...God's in Control

To trust or not to trust, that is the question, with a whole spectrum of possibilities, that is made between those to choices.

One will give you sweet peace of mind, the other will cause you to worry, from worry to worry, your whole life through!

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.

What about the what ifs? What about them?

The what ifs, are never innocent like they seem, they are tenacious stealers of valuable time!

In an intimate relationship, time is a precious commodity, that should be spent on the focus of the other person, with whom you are in the relationship with!

TBS. let the what ifs, worry about the what ifs!

Let the what if's, sit around waisting their time, talking about what most assuredly, isn't going to happen if you trust God!

That sounds like a fabulous idea, doesn’t it?

And that’s exactly what every believer should do, "after all, birds of a feather flock together" so let the what ifs, worry about the what ifs!

Realize, once and forevermore, "God Grace is greater than any problem we will ever face" Amen?

Its certainly biblical, we just read it didn’t we?

Then tell me why do so many people, let so much stuff get to them all the time?

Because when we worry, we make it about the capabilities of self.

We try to make it all about right living and right doing, all of the things we think, we can control, instead of right believing!

It's like we say thanks, but no thanks. No wonder, there is so much drama in life...

As soon as the thought of no thanks enters someone's mind, drama starts to be manufactured!

God, in His most infinite wisdom, has provided the answer to worry free living, in the verses right before our text scripture!

Mark 6:31-33 NKJ

31. “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’

32. For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.

33. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

Every now and then, a believer should chronicle what happens in their life. You know, write down the struggles, the deliverance from the struggles, and the blessings of life produced from the faith displayed while going through.

It's amazing how when you start to write down all the things God has blessed you with, you realize how good God is!

The answer to stress free, worry free living, is to seek God, seek out what He’s all about, and trust Him!

Matthew 11:28-30 MSG

“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.”

You don't have to reinvent the wheel every time, the what if drama of life knocks on the door, wanting to move back into the spare bedroom of your thought process.

God invented the wheel, it's called "the unforced rhythm of Grace" roll with what has been specifically created to help you, at every juncture of your life!

One word from God is all you need!

if you will let Him, if you will give Him a chance, He will show you His capabilities!

We, if we will admit it, know our limitations don’t we? Our limitations are small and insignificant in nature. And no amount of effort, or worry on our part will ever increase our limited capabilities!

We, also on the other hand, know that God’s abilities are limitless! However, if we don’t believe that He wants to do a work in our lives, we will never give Him the freedom to go beyond what we can believe Him for!

Worry ties God’s hands in our lives, Faith sets Him free to do as He pleases,

And do you know what God likes to do for us in our lives, when we untie His hands with our faith? There's not enough pen or paper to record, what God is willing to do for someone willing to believe and have faith!

Ephesians 3:20 NKJ

20. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,

Matthew Henry said: God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think. There is an inexhaustible fullness of grace and mercy in God, which the prayers of all the saints can never draw dry. Whatever we may ask, or think to ask, still God is still able to do more, abundantly more, exceedingly abundantly more. Open thy mouth ever so wide, still he hath wherewithal to fill it. Praise God!!
