"No Worries"

"The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: He uttered His voice, the earth melted." (Psalms 46:6) You could say that you are fireproof, at least that best fits the description of what Jesus was speaking on when He spoke of the branches that abide in Him; only those branches that do not abide in Him are cast into the fire (John 15:6). As long as we are abiding in Christ, we have nothing to worry about. The heathen on the other hand, as soon as their world is shaken up a little bit, they begin to fall apart; and when I mean fall apart, I mean mass chaos begins to unfold; things like crowds of protest, looting, riots in the streets; their lives can get totally out of control, because they have no other hope but the system in which they live. If we truly believe that God is the one who has ultimate control, and you truly know that you are His child, then what could you possibly be worried about? Ultimately our focus needs to be on heaven, not upon the things of this earth; all of this is temporary, but heaven is eternal. The biggest cause of sickness and death in this life is worry; the more you worry, the more your hair falls out, your blood pressure increases, and your body becomes prone to ulcers, tumors, and aggravated cancers. The only worry we need to concern ourselves with, is that we are abiding in Christ; and if we truly are abiding in Christ, then we actually have no worries what so ever! The NLT has this verse broken up into two exclaimed statements that oppose each other, which read, "The nations are in chaos, and their kingdoms crumble! God's voice thunders, and the earth melts!" The idea behind this translation is based upon the ones which are not governed by God live in chaos and their lives are constantly falling apart; but those which are governed by God, as soon as they feel disturbed, they take it to the Lord in prayer, because God can change things with just a word. The biggest change that we usually need to have performed in our lives is the way that we see things; the biggest miracle that we often need involves our perception of God, because when we see God more clearly, all of our worries are swept away... "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: by whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but we glory in tribulation also; knowing that tribulation worketh patience; and patience, experience; and experience, hope: and hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shad abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us." (Romans 5:1-5)
