MATTHEW 6:27_Which of you by taking thought…
If you find a basic truth in the Bible – keep rehearsing it. Get the truth into your heart. The truth will eventually overpower worry. This is called meditation.
Meditation works like worry only with positive results. Rehearse the truth over and over in your heart. Seek the wisdom of the Bible and apply it to your problem. Ask God for insight, wait for it to come.
Hebrews chapter 11 (KJV) is known as the faith chapter. There is one person included in this chapter who has a very small part in the Bible, but something extraordinary happened to him, “5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.”
Enoch was translated from earth to heaven without ever dying! All that was really said about Enoch was “he pleased God.” This leads to, “6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” Hebrews 11:6 (KJV).
The answer to overcoming worry – faith!
PRAYER
God in Whom I Trust, Increase my faith that I may please You. In the powerful name of Jesus, Amen.
Christ wants to increase my faith—I will let Him!
