SOLID CONFIDENCE: STOP IT...(WORRYING) IT DOESN'T CHANGE ANYTHING or DOES IT?

Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?  Matthew 6:27

This is the way God put it: "They found grace out in the desert, these people who survived the killing.  Israel, out looking for a place to rest, met God out looking for them!"  God told them, "I've never quit loving you and never will. Expect love, love, and more love!  And so now I'll start over with you and build you up again, dear virgin Israel.  You'll resume your singing, grabbing tambourines and joining the dance.  You'll go back to your old work of planting vineyards on the Samaritan hillsides,  And sit back and enjoy the fruit— oh, how you'll enjoy those harvests! The time's coming when watchmen will call out from the hilltops of Ephraim: 'On your feet! Let's go to Zion, go to meet our God!'" Jer. 31:2-6

So yesterday we discovered that worrying is not even for the birds, let alone us.  But yet many of you....still do it.   WHY?   So Jesus continues....and asks the audience a questions can it (WORRYING) add a single moment to your life?  In other words does it CHANGE ANYTHING?  On one side of the coin, YES, it does...it causes anxieties, blood pressure changes, I've even watched people literally worry themselves sick...so it changes you physiologically as well as psychologically.   Now as it relates to the WHAT you are worried about...there are NO TESTIMONIES about " I worried about ______________ that it's now solved, fixed, or remedied.   If you are a parent you already know worrying about  your kids doesn't change them.....and prayer, really comforts you into GOD's will, but even it doesn't automatically change what it is that you are worried about. 

See Israel had been in enslaved, and released into the desert to MEET GOD.  But they were too busy worrying about WHAT THEY'D EAT, WHAT THEY'D DRINK, ETC, and it's funny how when we are GOING THROUGH how short our memories are of WHEN GOD SAVED US THE LAST TIME...so we begin panicking all over again and in JEREMIAH 31 GOD tells them.....STOP, LOOK AND LISTEN....I've never stop loving you (sounds like a Michael Jackson song)  and in the midst of whatever you are in I still love you (even though you GOT YOURSELF INTO IT) and I will continue to love you.   He ULTIMATELY reminds them of His promises and to GET UP on your feet and let's MOVE FORWARD TO MEET GOD.  

For many of you all you need to do is MOVE FORWARD.  You've been sitting in a place of hopelessness and despair and the joy you need is found in GOD, all you need to do is literally GET UP, GET A ROOM, CLOSE THE DOOR, and GOTO your FATHER.  I'm done!  I can't give you anymore instructions!  JESUS MADE IT SIMPLE for US to CAST ALL OF OUR CARES UPON HIM and leave worrying to UNBELIEVERS, so if you are worrying.....you are a _____________________ (HE said it!!!!!).  Ok, I'm done for real.....LOVE GOD, LOVE PEOPLE!
