Greetings,
We were created to worship God. Worship exalts and lifts our Lord high. Since He dwells in the midst of our praises, when we enthrone God in our worship, we are giving Him a place to dwell.
If you stop and think about it, worry is the opposite of worship isn’t it? Worry will cause us to doubt God’s ability and His goodness. It unseats God from the throne of our hearts and allows fear to rule us instead.
When we worry rather than trust God, it is actually a form of idol worship that elevates the things about which we are concerned to a level that’s higher than our trust in the Savior. It enthrones our problems. No wonder fear and anxiety are the result.
Worry also weakens the immune system. When that happens, we become more susceptible to illness. No wonder Jesus said in John 14:1 – “Let not your hearts be troubled!” He wants us to have peace.
Lord, today I cast all of my cares upon You. Your Word declares that You see everything that is happening in my life. Your eye is even upon the sparrow. Why should I worry or be stressed when You are watching over me? You even know the number of hairs on my head. Thank You are caring so much for me.
Today, I’m worshiping with Anthony Brown and “Created to Worship, Not to Worry.”
We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!
Pastor
