How do you handle worry?
July 8, 2019
BIBLE MEDITATION:
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:33
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
Have you ever noticed that right along with the command in Matthew 6:34 not to worry, there comes a promise from God to take care of us? One of the most frequent promises is that we will be fed—God will take care of our needs.
Why does God promise that “all these things will be added unto you.”? So we will not starve? No. Friend, a lot of people who don’t trust God have a pantry full of food. The average unsaved person is thinking about money, homes, cars, clothes, wealth, etc. Jesus knows we have a one-track mind and cannot serve two masters. If these are the things you’re seeking, then you’re not seeking the Lord. He is telling us, “You trust Me. Bring all of your attention into trusting Me and doing good, and I’ll take care of you.”
ACTION POINT:
Today each time you’re tempted to worry, bring your concerns to your Heavenly Father and ask Him to help you trust Him.

Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
