Good
Morning!
This
may come as a surprise to some of you, but did you know that "worry"
is a sin? Before you get mad at me and delete this.....read Romans
14:23. Hey! I am just telling you what The Word of God says, because I
want help you. I know all about the "worrying way of
life".....I come from a long line of worriers. In fact, there were
times when I would get mad at my husband because he refused to be
worried about our situations! Now, I know that he was right and I
was wrong.
It
took me a long time to be delivered from this "trap", and there
are still times when I have to say "NO" to the temptation to
worry. Romans 14:23 says that whatever is not from
"faith", is sin. The explanation of this principle is simple!
Worry comes from "fear", and you cannot operate in fear and faith at
the same time....they are "opposing forces"! God has told us
over and over, in His Word, that we are to "live by faith".....He
also tells us, over and over again, "DO NOT FEAR"!
The
Lord is so loving and kind that He does not leave us with just the
instructions of what "not to do", but also tells us what "to
do"! Isn't He so wonderful?! He always makes "a way of
escape" (1Corinthians 10:13). I am going to be sharing some of
those "escape hatches" with you as we go along.....We have been
called to be mighty "warriors", not mighty "worriers"!
More about this tomorrow~~~~~~~~~~
Have
a Blessed Day!! (Be
happy! Don't worry!)
In His Love, Luanne
