TEXT: Philippians
4:6
“Be careful for nothing; but in
every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be
made known unto God. “
So often we tend to forget the magnificence of GOD, and the efficacy
of HIS words that we just neglect HIM and sorrow through our cares. The LORD
JESUS CHRIST already told us in HIS words that; we should not take thought for
tomorrow concerning our welfare, HE takes care of all the birds, weeds, wild
animals and so on. Imagine the forests, no one seems to be keeping them, what
people rather do is to deplete them (deforestation), but it is GOD that
actually takes care of the forests, HE keeps the trees growing and later people
fell those trees for human uses. Some people don’t even think of how long it
takes for those trees to develop to what they were before cutting them down,
and they are always sure that whenever they got to a forest, there is a tree at
least waiting to be cut down. This is the magnificent work of GOD. Some trees
take numerous decades to develop, and they keep cutting such trees down
everyday, yet we still have forests on planet earth. Only GOD actually keeps
these forests, in the same way, GOD provides for wild animals too.
If GOD cares so much about other things like plants and animals, how
much more we humans that HE has redeemed with the blood of HIS only begotten
SON, JESUS CHRIST? The LORD told us that we need not to worry about our welfare
in Matthew 6:25-26 “Therefore I say unto you, Take no
thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for
your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body
than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they
reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not
much better than they? “
If you have things that bother you, all you need to do is to take it
to GOD in prayer, JESUS CHRIST told us that we should ask and it shall be given
unto us in Matthew7:7 “Ask, and it shall be given you;
seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:”
since HE has said it, then HE will do it. You just believe when you have asked
and you shall receive it, Mark 11:24 says “Therefore I say unto you, What
things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. “
If you do not believe in GOD, you cannot receive anything from HIM, so
all your cares and burdens remains yours to carry, HE will only HELP those that
have come unto HIM Matthew 11:28 says “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest.” So it is only those that have come to GOD
that will receive HIS rest .If you have not given your life to CHRIST, you need
to do so now so that HE will take care of all your needs. To allow JESUS CHRIST
to bare your burdens for you; just say this short prayer:
LORD JESUS I accept you as the savior
of my life, I confess that you are the only SON of GOD, I believe that you came
into this world to die for my sins, now I repent from all I have done that is
sinful. Please come into my life and help me to live a life that pleases you
from now on. Amen
If you said this prayer, I congratulate you and
welcome you to the company of the children of GOD.
