TOPIC: WEARINESS (9): Cause Of Weariness: Cares And Worries Of Life
One Year Bible Reading:
Isaiah 54 - 56
1 Thess. 1: 1 - 2: 1 - 16
MEMORY VERSE:
Isaiah 40:31
“But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”
BIBLE READING:
Matthew 13:22.
"He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful."
Thinking Point:
Cares and worries of daily living weigh down the heart and end in weariness.
This week, every heavy care weighing down your heart is rolled away. You receive peace that passes all understanding over every burden, in Jesus' Mighty Name, Amen.
Today, we are taking a step further to look at another cause of weariness: “Cares and Worries of Life." The pressure to pay bills and keep up with peers has cost many their peace of mind. Worry has gotten the better of many in this generation, causing them to lay down their sword to dejection and depression.
Proverbs 12:25 says,
"Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad."
Worry makes the heart stoop; it bends you low. You cannot run your race when your heart is bent down by worries.
Jesus speaking in Matthew 6:28-32 says,
"And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things."
Jesus is saying our Father knows our thoughts, our needs, and our wants, and He will make them available if we will seek Him first according to Matthew 6:33, which says,
"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."
Running after what God can make available without stress leads to weariness.
In Matthew 13:22, Jesus continued saying,
"He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful."
What you worry about chokes you. Bills to pay, children to feed, rent to pay, deadlines to meet — if you carry them in your heart every day, you will become weary.
Worry does not solve problems; it creates weariness. It keeps you awake when you should be sleeping, and it drains you when you should be working.
God did not design you to carry your cares; He designed you to cast them.
1 Peter 5:7 says,
"Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you."
Prayer does not mean you will not have cares, but it means you hand them over to God and receive His rest.
Stop worrying about what you cannot control and start trusting the God who controls all things.
Prayer:
Father, today I cast all my cares upon You. Every anxiety weighing me down, I drop at Your feet. Give me Your peace and renew my strength in Jesus' Mighty Name, Amen.
Good morning and God bless you.
