No I am not refering to the problem that is found in some guitars, but refering to what I read whilst doing my QT this morning (afternoon actually). From Utmost for His Highest:
Worrying always results in sin. We tend to think that a little anxiety and worry are simply an indication of how wise we really are, yet it is actually a much better indication of just how wicked we are. Fretting rises from our determination to have our own way. Our Lord never worried and was never anxious, because His purpose was never to accomplish His own plans but to fulfill God’s plans. Fretting is wickedness for a child of God. All our fretting and worrying is caused by planning without God. - Oswald Chambers
"Cease from anger and forsake wrath; Do not fret; it leads only to evildoing." - Psalms 37:8
We always get anxious over small things, like who is leading worship this sunday, what songs to lead, what to say, which program team is on, what time are we to report. What honours project am I going to do? etc etc etc...
But yeah... these words just poke to me and I am reminded of the other set of verses found in Matthew chapter 6. Jesus tells us not to worry for why think about the troubles of tomorrow when today has enough troubles on it's own.
True indeed. We never know what is going to happen tomorrow. We can and should plan for the future, but what I think what God is really telling us is to trust in Him, and have faith. And not to be so "kan chiong" all the time.
So trust in the Lord, have faith and He will provide. And do not worry; I learnt long ago that it is a sin to worry. And it leads to evildoing.
I don't know about tomorrow
I don't know about tomorrow
I just live from day to day
I don't borrow from the sunshine
For its skies may turn to gray
I don't know about my future
For I know what Jesus said
And today He walks beside me
For He knows what lies ahead
Many things about tomorrow
I don't seem to understand
But I know who holds tomorrow
And I know who holds my hand
