I am so thankful for God's Word that helps us in life! As I said this morning, when a doctor gives us medicine, we need to take it or it will do us no good. Same way with God and His Word, we need to take it and not just hear it but do it!
As a reminder in Philippians 4:6-7 - "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God which passes all understanding shall guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus."
Here is the outline that I used this morning and hopefully it reminds us throughout the week:
THE PROBLEM - is WORRY - "Do not be anxious or worried...."
This is something that we will all face and struggle with on a daily basis.
THE PRESCRIPTION - is PRAYER "But in everything, by prayer and petition, with
thanksgiving, present your requests to God." That is the choice we have, when we are full of worry. We can worry or we can pray! What will you do?
THE PROGRAM - is RIGHT THINKING. Read Philippians 4:8 and it tells you how we should be thinking and living. A PROGRAM is something that we must live out, do on a daily basis. For example - You can not diet on on Monday and Thursday and the rest of the week eat any way that you want. It is a life style and that is the same way it is with God's Word!
THE PROMISE - is PEACE - The God of peace will be with you! No only does He give us peace externally, but the God of peace lives and dwells in us! What great news!
Take your medicine,
Pastor Ron
