Don't Worry

I was reading Mathew 6 th chapter, the last few verses. Jesus was teaching his disciples not to worry. He said worry accomplishes nothing. Three words popped out and said a hello to me from these passages. Faith, Father, and First. Let’s try to understand these Words. Jesus says that when you worry it’s an indication that your faith level is low. When you don’t trust God, you start to worry. So what do we do to increase our faith? Try these two things. 1.

Whatever He Does Prospers!!

Whatever He Does Prospers --Ps 1:3 What a promise. As I was reading this sentence the word “Whatever” hit me strongly.

Psalms 119 15 I meditate on your precepts and consider your ways. 16 I delight in your decrees; I will not neglect your word 23 Though rulers sit together and slander me, your servant will meditate on your decrees. 24 Your statutes are my delight; they are my counselors
