Bible Answer:
Bible Texts:
In all things we must trust in The Lord, yes He does have everything under His control!
Matthew 6:34 KJV
Take therefore no thought for the
morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.
Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
Matthew
6:34 NLT
So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will
bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.
This
is all about the subject of worry versus trust.
As God's people,
should we plan for tomorrow's needs? Yes, of course, but we are never
to get to the place where we stop “trusting God,” and
start to worry and become overly disturbed.
Philippians
4:6,7 KJV
6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by
prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made
known unto God.
7 And the peace of God, which
passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through
Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6,7 NLT
6
Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell
God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done.
7
Then you will experience God’s peace, which
exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts
and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
I Peter 5:7
KJV
Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you.
Who is caring, and interceding for you? The Lord Jesus
Christ, that's who, He's not dead impaled on a cross, He's living
and interceding for you at the right hand of The Father!
Romans
8:34 KJV
"...It is Christ that died, yea rather, that
is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh
intercession for us."
As a child
of God, we are to “trust,” our God to keep us.
Psalm
37:3-5 KJV
3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou
dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
4 Delight
thyself also in the LORD: and He shall give thee the desires of thine
heart.
5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in Him;
and He shall bring it to pass.
Proverbs 3:5,6 KJV
5
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own
understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He
shall direct thy paths.
Isaiah 26:3,4 KJV
3
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind
is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
4 Trust ye
in the LORD for ever: for in The LORD Jehovah is everlasting
strength:
Psalm 34:22 KJV
The Lord redeemeth
the soul of His servants: and none of them that trust in Him shall be
desolate.
Psalm 118:8,9 KJV
8 It is better to
trust in The Lord than to put confidence in man.
9 It is
better to trust in The Lord than to put confidence in princes.
Here
are the words Jesus spoke before in Matthew chapter six.
Matthew
6:19-34 NLT
19 “Don’t store up treasures here on earth,
where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break
in and steal.
20 Store your treasures in heaven, where
moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal.
21 Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your
heart will also be.
22 “Your eye is a lamp that provides
light for your body. When your eye is good, your whole body is filled
with light.
23 But when your eye is bad, your whole body
is filled with darkness. And if the light you think you have is
actually darkness, how deep that darkness is!
24 “No one
can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you
will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both
God and money.
25 “That is why I tell you not
to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough
food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than
food, and your body more than clothing?
26 Look at the
birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your
Heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to Him
than they are?
27 Can all your worries add a single moment
to your life?
28 “And why worry about your clothing? Look
at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don’t work or
make their clothing,
29 yet Solomon in all his glory was
not dressed as beautifully as they are.
30 And if God
cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown
into the fire tomorrow, He will certainly care for you. Why
do you have so little faith?
31 “So don’t worry
about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink?
What will we wear?’
32 These things dominate the
thoughts of unbelievers, but your Heavenly Father already knows all
your needs.
33 Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and
live righteously, and He will give you everything you need.
34
“So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own
worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.
