Worry

_____________________________

Matthew 13:22 "The thorny ground represents those who hear and accept the Good News, but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the cares of this life."

Colossians 3:2 "Let Heaven fill your thoughts. Do not think only about things down here on earth."

  Worry is like thorny plants--both crowd out what is good. Our worry over the concerns of life becomes sin when it prevents the Word of God from taking root in our life.

  Why do I worry so much? How can I worry less?

God Remembers, God delivers, God restores

  In preparing my message on Zechariah for tonight at 3D I thought to myself, how can I make this book relevant to these junior highers. Are they even going to understand what I'm talking about? More so, what does God wants them to hear and understand? I outlined what I was going to talk about and prayed asking the Lord that whatever He wanted me to say, I would, and whatever He didn't want me to say, I wouldn't. Just enough so that the kids could hear and get what His point is. That we should repent, and follow the call He has given to us. Not to waste time on things that we think are good for us, when in reality the Lord wants to give us sooo much more. Here is small bit of what I posted to the 3D blog below:
