What me Worry?

/ pastorpete51 / 5 Comments

Worry is something just about everyone on the planet does; but why? “Don’t worry, be happy.” is pretty snappy but on the face of real life stuff its about as useful as a screen door in a submarine. Rather than spending time researching why not invest some time looking at what God has to say?

Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows. Matthew 10:29-31 ESV

I have found that the best recipe for worry is to set aside focused time alone and just sing. To take a line from the not too theologically correct movie ELF – “The best way to spread Christmas Cheer, is singing loud for all to hear.” Today’s video draws comfort from singing some songs to bring you cheer. I hope they make somebody’s day a little brighter! Blessings

Consider the Sparrows

Anxious for nothing

Be anxious for nothing

Remember to pray

Your Father is watching by night and all day

He gave every sparrow

Two wings so he’ll fly

With no worry of falling from up in the sky

And the lily’s white bloom

In the deep valley dark

Reflects in the night the pure light from God’s star

In God We Trust

I used to have breakfast at a diner early every morning before work. Over the cash register they had a sign saying; – In God We Trust ….All others pay cash!
If you are wondering who to trust anymore you are not alone! In the darkest hours of the Civil War the Treasury Secretary inspired by a personal letter from Rev Mark Watkinson wrote to the Philadelphia mint requesting the following:

“Dear Sir: No nation can be strong except in the strength of God, or safe except in His defense. The trust of our people in God should be declared on our national coins.”

In our own dark hour how much more should we learn to trust in Jesus? This weeks songs include. Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus – Trust and Obey and Oh How I Love Jesus.
