"DO NOT WORRY." MATTHEW 6:31 WORRIED ABOUT MONEY?

The Psalmist said, "I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread" (Ps 37:25). Has God ever failed you? No, and He won't now: "You will have plenty to eat, until you are full, and you will praise the name of the Lord your God, who has worked wonders for you" (Joel 2:26). Stop trying to figure everything out. Instead, lean on God. "Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shall you dwell in the land, and truly you shall be fed. Delight yourself also in the Lord; and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way unto the Lord; trust also in Him; and He shall bring it to pass" (Ps 37:3-5). Just keep doing what God has told you to do. "Obey all the laws my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful...do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go" (Jos. 1:7-9). Don't be anxious; God won't fail you. "Do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'...your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well" (Mt 6:31-33). Relax, He's Jehovah Jireh, "The Lord will provide!"


In November our poster focuses on money. Just the other day I heard a man complain that his son wants new clothes for Christmas, when he hasn’t paid his school fees! Money is necessary but if you love it and place your hope, trust and life on it, it would only give you evil. I pray God would provide for us according to His riches in glory, amen.

#NextGeneration Stories

Cherokee Legend Do you know the legend of the Cherokee Indian youth's rite of Passage? His father takes him into the forest, blindfolds him and leaves him alone.  He is required to sit on a stump the whole night and not remove the blindfold until the rays of the morning sun shine through it. He cannot cry out for help from anyone.  Once he survives the night, he is a MAN. He cannot tell the other boys of this experience, because each lad must come into manhood on his own. The boy is naturally terrified. He can hear all kinds of noises. Wild beasts must surely be all around him. Maybe even some humans might do him harm. The wind blew the grass and earth, and shook his stump, but he sat stoically, never removing the blindfold. It would be the only way he could become a man! Finally, after a horrific night the sun appeared and he removed his blindfold. It was then that he discovered his father sitting on the stump next to him.    He had been at watch the entire night, p...
