Worry Free....

I have been watching the news all around me. Reading the interent insurps, as everyone waits for the "Stimulus Bill" to be passed. The Bill makes me very worried and concerned. I know it will only make our country worse - not better. Everyone is saying, "get out of debt and have a cash reserve". But, not all of us can just instantly pay off debt much less have a huge cash reserve! So, what would we do? I know worry does not come from God - 1 Timothy 1:7 - so, I asked God to give me peace during my devotions the other day. This is what He gave me. "Fearful is our danger, but joyful is our security. The man whom God upholds, devils can not throw down." Isaiah 41.10, "Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness." Zechariah 13:9, "And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they sahll call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God." He also told me, "The fire ONLY refines, it does not destroy. We are to be brought through the fire not left in it. If we are wise, we shall rather welcome the refining process than decline it." It brought peace to my heart to know that I only need to Trust Him for my needs. That He will take care of me. He also showed me to bring all of my perplexities and concerns to Him. Psalms 32:8
