Word of Hope for Today with
Bro. Rolly Custodio
Don’t Worry (Part-2)
Today’s Insight
Jesus
said, ‘Therefore I tell you, stop being perpetually uneasy (anxious and
worried) about your life…’ (Matthew 6:25 AMP). Now, the Lord is not condemning
you for having a legitimate concern about your responsibilities.
No,
what He’s condemning is having a mindset that keeps leaving Him out of the
equation, or turning to Him only as a last resort. Destructive anxiety
subtracts God from the future, faces uncertainties with no faith, tallies up
the challenges of today and tomorrow, and forgets to include God’s promises and
His faithfulness.
Jesus
told His disciples, ‘I tell you not to worry about everyday life – whether you
have enough.’ Note the words ‘whether you have enough’. That’s what we worry
about, isn’t it? Shortfalls, sickness, redundancies, economic downturns.
Faced
with the feeding of 5,000 people, the disciples had the same worry. Philip did
an audit: ‘…Eight months’ wages would not buy enough bread for each one to have
a bite’ (John 6:7 NIV)!
How do you suppose Jesus felt in that moment? Standing next to them was the
solution to their problems, but they didn’t go to Him until their backs were to
the wall and they had no answers. In their hands five loaves and two fishes
looked like nothing. Yet in His hands it was more than enough to feed the
multitude and solve their problem. As the bread kept multiplying, surely they
must each have come to the point where they said, ‘Lord, why did I ever doubt
You?’
Let your
problems drive you into the arms of Jesus. And when you get there, stay there!
Parallel Verses: Num 19-21, Matt 12:1-14, Ps 111, Pro 3:29-30
