Weekly Word: July 3

Have you been worrying lately…

– Don’t be anxious about anything Phil. 4:6 –

Someone once said if you want to test your memory, try remembering what you were worried about a year ago. The Apostle Paul said “He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion.” (Phil. 1:6) Notice we didn’t start this work – He did! Jesus gave us the privilege of being involved, He never puts us in charge. The Lord is the captain of our salvation and He has never lost a passenger. Regrettably there will be rough times and you’ll feel a little anxious, but when that happens remember Jesus said “In this world you’ll have trouble, but take heart! I have overcome the world.” (John 16:35)

A right relationship with Jesus gives you confidence: a peace not subject to what’s going on, or people’s attitudes, or actions; a joy that works from the inside out. It’s a great privilege to be a believer!
