DON’T WORRY

Lord Jesus is the most successful person in the ministry who truly enjoys His life in the world. Lord Jesus also taught about how we can be satisfied with what we have. He said: “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?” (Matthew 6:25)

Lord Jesus told us to be content with what we have and not worry. Why are people worried? Paul says in 1 Timothy 6:9, “But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition.” Solomon, the richest man who ever lived said, "For what has a man for all his labor, and for the striving of his heart with which he has toiled under the sun? For all his days are sorrowful, and his work burdensome; even at the night his heart takes no rest. This also is vanity.” (Ecclesiastes 2:22-23)

God put one ability in humans when he is still alive, and that ability is satisfaction. This ability awakens the strength in humans to continue living this life and enjoying it. One thing we must do is believe that God provides everything we need for our happiness so that we can fulfill His plan on this earth.
