Worry Not — Get Back to the Basics

I believe sometimes I overly complicate life; at least for me. Maybe it is the same for you. Lately the chorus of a song that keeps going through my head. I’m pretty sure God is trying to send me a message. The lyrics are from a song written by Mark Harris of the group 4 Him it goes; “We need to get back To the basics of life A heart that is pure And a love that is blind A faith that is fervently grounded in Christ The hope that endures for all times These are the basics, we need to get back To the basics of life.”

The Word was there in the beginning, The Word is now, and The Word will always be. We are told in The Word not to worry; “”Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Matthew 6:25-34 NIV

How many times do we forget this; when we worry we are actually saying; “God, I can’t believe that you are able to take care of me.” To be honest I still struggle, when I see obstacles I say, “I Got This.” , seems like every time I think I got this something goes wrong. I have to remember to humble myself and remind myself “I can do all this through him who gives me strength.” Philippians 4:3 NIV
