Questions from Jesus: “Why do you worry so much?”

Read Matthew 6:25-34

“Worrying is like a rocking chair; it gives you something to do but it gets you nowhere.” ~Erma Bombeck

1. Worrying is unfaithful because of our Lord. (vs. 25)

2. Worrying is unnecessary because of our Father. (vv. 26-30)

3. Worrying is unreasonable because of our faith. (vv. 31-33)

4. Worrying is unwise because of our future. (vs. 34)

   
   

Confession

You’re right, Jesus, I worry too much. I spend way too much energy worrying about “what if”, “how come”, “when”, and “why”. Instead, I should be resting in you. I am also way too focused on this life instead of the one to come. Help me, Jesus, to fear less and to trust more. To live in a state of contentment and certainty in you, your provision, your care, your love, and your incredible future for me.​

Questions from Jesus: “What is written in the law? How do you read it?”

Read Luke10:25-37

“We are the Bibles the world is reading; we are the creeds the world is needing; we are the sermons the world is heeding.” ~Billy Graham

How do you inherit eternal life? Listen up…

1. Love the Lord your God with all your:

• Heart

• Soul

• Strength

• Mind

and…

2. Love your neighbor as yourself…

• It’s a risk worth taking.

• It's compassion worth giving.

• It's time worth spending.

• It's a resource worth investing.

Confession

God, I confess, at times it is easier to love you than it is to love people. But I realize that to love you and to be loved by you should motivate me to love others. Help me to see that loving is not something I do, but it should be someone I am. I want to see all people as my neighbor and love them as Jesus has shown his love to me, sacrificially and unconditionally.
