Living a Worry Free Life

Scripture : 1 Peter 5:7

In the world that we live in, with the pressures and demands that surrounds us-worry seems to be a norm. With the pressure a earning a living, providing for the family, and paying the bills and hordes of other things that cries for our attention, we need a solution for this age-long problem. But the Bible calls worry a sin. As Christians , God wants us to live a worry-free life.

In 1 Peter 5:7 the the apostle Peter encourages the believer in Christ to cast the total of our cares, worries, anxieties and concerns to the Lord. He cares for us. He does really care for us. Nothing is to small that our Great Father God does know about it. He is concern about the the details of our lives. But most of the time, we have difficulty believing that.

This is because the enemy of our soul wants to burden and load us with the cares of this life. And wants us to believe that we are alone in dealing with daily conflicts that we face. Peter goes on to exhort "...resist him steadfast in the Faith..". Worry need to be resisted just like we would resist an enemy. Keeping our minds and hearts worry free is the key in the seeing the blessings of the Lord flowing abundantly in our lives.

So let me encourage in the Lord to let the peace of God guard your minds and hearts in Christ Jesus as a garrison of soldiers in a turbulent country. Praise the Lord
