Short Devotions

The Cut Buddies of Doubt & Worry

Matthew 6:31-34 states: "Therefore do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble."

I'm bringing this short devotion to you in order to point out, that when one sees "doubt" and "worry" - one must know that they are, what I would like to call "Cut Buddies."

Know that when you see one, the other one is not far behind - for when you doubt, by default - you call "worry" to tag along.

This dysfunctional team duet that consists of "doubt" and "worry" - was forged together to wreak havoc upon the life of the believer.

This is why one must be careful, for if you don't, this dangerous duet will tear down your belief system, and will eventually cut through the foundation of who you truly are, when it comes to Christ Jesus.

Or so it may seem, to the unbelieving eye. And the reason why I would make a statement of such, deals with the fact that I know that Jesus is the Advocate for all believers. And I also know that He's the Imparter of mercy, and His Word is enough to crush all the doubts and worries from within and out of our lives.

So when the One (Jesus) who holds tomorrow in His hands, says today: "don't worry" -- may I suggest that you trust Him with all your heart and soul, and as He would say: "don't worry" -- Amen.
