Do Not Worry, Worship!

 “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? 26 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? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?
28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.  Matthew 6:32-37

Struggles and temptations will come in the life of Christian! There is no doubt about that.
When going through struggles in life, focus on Christ, He is right besides you leading you through his Holy Spirit. God promises to never leave us or forsake us.

Come to God, humble yourself as you are, there is none rightetoues, not one, we are all sinners. It is through only Jesus Christ, who has paid the ultimate price to give us life. Tell God all your anxieties, struggles, weaknesses, and He will give you rest.

Do what you need to do to get your heart right with God. He will satisfy your soul.

Here are some of my favorite worship songs below:  


Love Outran me
 
Yahweh

 
Set a fire

 
This is Amazing Grace

 
Breath of Life

Lord, I need You

It is God who Sustains Me

 " I have upheld you since were conceived and have carried since your birth. Even to your old age and grey hairs, I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and will carry you." Isaiah 46:3-4

Amen!  Our God is an awesome! I can testify that when I am exhausted, broken hearted, or just tired of living here on earth, I can go to my God and cast all worries,all my fears to Him.

I am on the pre-medical path, and nearly everyday is a struggle. Everyday is filled tough material to learn, studying, focusing in lecture. Just the fact that only about 2% of students get, causes a great stress on my mind. What do the 98% end up doing?

Jesus is my peace. He has led me up to here, and He will keep me going where his will is. He is the vine we are the branches. We will bear good fruit if we abide in Him.

I have learned to stop caring what other people think about you. Care about God's standerds, you will give an anwer to him, not other people.

TRUST IN HIM! MY GOD WILL SUSTAIN ME!

At the end of my life I want to be able to say as apostle Paul: " I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

The Narrow and the Wide Gates

"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it" Matthew 7:13

I read this passage this morning and it placed a nervousness in my heart, not because I have doubt in my salvation, but because there are so many people who don't know Christ and power and life given by the gospel. As daily life continues, there is so much that distracts, and as busy as life gets, we must have our priorities straight. Don't cut away time from your daily meditation or devotion.

Few verses later, Jesus talks about living out the gospel in practical terms. He is ending his sermon on the mount which he gives laws on how to live for God, what God really wants from us. We must not only follow his 10 commandments, but honor him with our hearts. For example, "You have hear that it was said, ' Do not commit adultery. But I tell you that anyone who looks at a women lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart." Matthew 5:27-28.

“Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” Samuel 16:7

I highly recommend everyone to read and live out the sermon on the mount. Matthew chapter 5-7

Sow, and you will reap a plentiful harvest

 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”

Matthew 7:24-27

There is no point of reading the Bible if you do not apply it to your daily life! Use it, it is powerful!


Have a great week everyone!
