Worry Warts Matthew 6:25-34

Worry 40% consists of things that will never happen 30% consists of things about the past that can’t be changed 12% is about criticism by others, mostly untrue 10% about health, which gets worse with stress 8% about real problems that will be faced

William G. Channon : "Worry is entirely unscriptural. As Christians we have taken the precepts of the Scripture for our standard of living. We look upon the Bible as our final court of appeals in all life's details. Who can deny that within its pages no warrant is found for worrying?"

Herbert Lockyer said, "When a Christian worries, he is living in the wrong climate, for any kind of worry is foreign to his life in Christ."

THE FOOLISHNESS OF OUR WORRY The Fowls That Fly Above Us-v.26 The Flowers That Grow Around Us-v.28

THE FRUITLESSNESS OF OUR WORRY- v,27 “Worry is like rocking in a rocking chair. It will give you something to do, but it won’t get you anywhere.”

Worry Does Not Lengthen Life Worry Does Not Strengthen Life – It has been said that worry doesn’t help tomorrow’s troubles, but it does ruin today’s happiness. – Nancy Drew stories she said, “If worry were an effective weight-loss program, women would be invisible."

THE FAITHLESSNESS OF OUR WORRY- v.30 Our Father Sees Our Needs v.32 Our Father Supplies Our Needs-v.33 – Philippians 4:6, “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.” – Corrie ten Boom said, “Don’t wrestle, just nestle.” – Philippians 4:19 we read, “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”

Worry is our trying to handle things, rather than letting God handle things. So instead of worrying try worship. Look to your heavenly Father!
