"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.

Story Time

  Lisungu Chieza from Zimbabwe was 26 when she was told in 1996 that she was HIV+. "This started my long journey of coping with being HIV+. My husband died in my arms at home eight months later." Not only did Lisungu have to cope with her own illness and losing her husband, but her husband's family also wrongly blamed her for his death. They came to her house, took away his things, and said, "If those children of yours get sick, don't even call us. We won't have anything to do with them or you." They would not even let her go to her husband's burial. "I gave up a college course I had planned to do. All I thought about was death. I neglected my children and myself." But her mother supported her. Lisungu began to find hope again and joined an HIV support group. Then she started to help others who were also HIV+, and took a college course about HIV-AIDS. She spoke at HIV meetings with the young people in her church. She believes that it is ver...
