Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
Matthew 6:27
- JANUARY 8 -
CHOOSE NOT TO WORRY
Many Christians are familiar with Jesus’ rhetorical question, “Which of
you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?” But not many of us
actually let it get into our hearts and allow the love of God to free us
from our habit of worrying.
The truth is, no amount of worrying can lengthen your life or add
anything to your physical person. Instead, worrying robs you of sleep,
health and many good years. In fact, it is only when you are worry-free
that God’s anointing flows freely in you, strengthening, healing,
restoring and adding to you.
A church member, after undergoing a mammogram, found that she had lumps
in her breast. Upon receiving the doctor’s report, she wrote this down
on the report: “Jesus is my healer. I receive my healing. I am healed. I
rest in God completely.”
She was due back at the clinic later the same day for a biopsy to see
if the lumps were malignant. Her sister-in-law, who was having lunch
with her that day, witnessed her cheerful and worry-free attitude while
she ate her lunch.
Back at the clinic, this precious sister sat among other ladies who
were also there for their biopsies. They looked very worried, so she
started sharing Jesus with them and prayed for some of them. When her
turn came and she had an ultrasound scan done, the doctor was
puzzled—her scan showed no evidence of any lumps!
The doctor went back to consult her colleague who had first discovered
the lumps. Stunned, both doctors conducted their own investigations.
They returned to her only to say, “It’s a miracle!”
My friend, when you worry, you are actually believing that the devil
has the power to make inroads into your life that God cannot protect you
from. But when you refuse to worry, you are putting your faith in God.
You have more confidence in His love and power working for you than in
the devil’s ability to harm you! When you refuse to worry, but choose to
rest in the finished work of Christ, you will see the manifestation of
your blessing. You will see your miracle!
