Greetings in the powerful name of the Lord!
This past week we all watched with horror as the tragic
events unfolded in Paris. I was shocked,
as I am sure you all were too. And all
that is happening brings me back to the DEVO I published a week ago today. The verse for that DEVO was Proverbs 12:25 “Worry
weighs down the heart…”
It is easy to worry when watching the news. In fact, it’s always easier to worry then to
have peace unless we become proactive.
I invite you to check out this website, which has over 20
Bible verses about worry:
A running theme throughout those verses is that we have to
take an active stance or worry will overtake us. These verses encourage us to make requests of
God, cast our cares on Him, trust in Him, lean on Him, come to Him, learn from
Him, and seek the Kingdom.
When we want to lose weight in our physical bodies, we have to
make wise choices, like clean out the pantry of all junk food. The same applies to losing the weight of
worry in our lives. We have to be wise
and crowd out the junk that seeks to crush us by filling up on Him!
PRAYER: Dear Lord, We come to You now in obedience to Your
word and seek You and the peace that only You can give. Remove all worry and anxiety from us and fill
us with Your presence. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
