Worried and Concerned

Mat 6:25 “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. ”- 

Worrying is a natural emotion that if allowed to continue can consume our lives. The nature responds of human nature when things appear to be going wrong is to worry about the outcome. On the surface it looks like worry and concern seem to be two sides of the same coin. I can worry about how the bills will be paid, or I can say that I’m concern about how the bills will be paid. The difference is that to worry is to allow that concern to control your life and dictate your mode and ability to trust God for the situation. Jesus knew that worrying would be a difficult emotion to submit to God, so He gives His children reassurance that He will not forget about them, that He has everything under control and for some divine purpose He is allowing for set backs. He desire that we submit our hope, our desire and fate into His hands. Seeking first the will of God and doing it always bring contentment and reassurance that God will take care of all the rest.
