Why Worry?

How often are we riding along smoothly in our lives and out of nowhere "life" happens? It's a great feeling when we have that peaceful feeling within, but when a wrench is thrown in our gears we get tempted and sometimes lose our faith. Dispair, trials, and sickness plauge our lives sometimes. It's difficult when these things happen but we can face it one of two ways. We can have a "Whoa is me" attitude or we can remember where our source of strength lies. It's when we hit those low points that we must endure and stand strong in the turmoil's of life.


Psalm 46:10 states, "Be still, and know that I am God." We have to remember who is in control. Matthew 6:25-27 states, "Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?


As I've written above we are told to, "Be still and know that I am God." God has everything in control. When we worry what we're really saying is, I know that you say you've got this....but......I'm just not sure.

Update

Wow, I promised myself I would blog at least once a week.  BUT...it didn't happen. I'm going to try a little harder.

Just an update:

I've just come off of the busy weeks of the summer.  We had a week of camp at BYC where three young people made the best decision of their lives, that is to obey the gospel.  We also had a great week of Vacation Bible School where we averaged around 130 in attendance.  Now it's time to wind-down....just joking, I'm not sure if "winding-down" actually exists.

Church Camp

Hello Blog Readers,

I returned yesterday from a week at Bootheel Youth Camp, where I was a camp counselor.  I have to say that this was one of the greatest experiences of my life.  It felt great to spend the week in fellowship with fellow Christians and to learn and grow spiritually.  I cannot wait until next year.
