Topic: Because He lives
Text: Matthew 6:28-32

There is only one person who can handle tomorrow and His name is Jesus Christ. You do not have to worry about tomorrow, because Jesus is in charge. If Jesus Christ is the one controlling your life, you do not have to worry about tomorrow. You do not even have to worry about anything. It is only sinners who are supposed to be worrying. Honestly, sinners have a lot to worry about. Ecclesiastes 2:26: “For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and you: but to the sinner he giveth travail to gather and to heap up that he may give to him that is good before God. This also is vanity and vexation of spirit.” What has God given to those who are His children? Wisdom, knowledge and joy; worry is not included. For sinners, He has given travail. You will never grow if you worry all the time. A Christian grows as his or her faith grows. Your faith grows through the word of God. If you know the word of God but still worry, this will choke the word of God in you. Matthew 13:7 and 22: “And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them.” “He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, chocked the word, and he becometh unfruitful.” Even non-Christians know that anxiety is dangerous. Worrying is sin. It is a sin because it means that you do not trust God (Matthew 6:31-32). “Therefore, take no thought, saying, what shall we eat? Or what shall we drink? Or, wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek) for your heavenly Father knoweth that you have need of all these things.” God says He knows how to take care of His children. When you worry, you imply you do not trust Him. There cannot be a bigger insult to God than lack of trust in Him. It is so easy to fall into the habit of worrying. We have to guard against it very seriously because it can produce a lot of counter results. It can bring the opposite of what you want. When you worry, not only do you fold the hands of God against you, He will not even be willing to help. Throw your worry to the winds and trust in the Lord.
