Song 10 -- In Jesus' Time

One of the most common sins is worrying.  I say that worrying is a sin because it is the opposite of faith.  I define faith as, trusting Jesus.  As an example, in Ephsians Chapter 2, verses 8 and 9, Paul wrote, "For by grace we are saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is a gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast.  Faith means that you are trusting that what Jesus says is true. In Paul's letter to the Romans in Chapter 14, verse 23, he wrote ".....and whatever is not from faith is sin.  Therefore, in are lives, if we are not trusting that Jesus has full control of our lives and needs, then we are not acting in faith and are sinning.  Jesus said in Matthew Chapter 6, verses 24, "No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will hold to one and despise the other.  You cannot serve God and riches.  For this reason I say to you, do not be worry for your life, as to what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor for your body as to what you shall put on.  Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?  Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, neither do they reap, nor do they gather into barns, and yet your Heavenly Father feeds them.  Are you not worth much more than they?  And which of you by worrying can add a single cubit to his life's span?  And why are you anxious about clothing?  Observe how the lilies of the feild grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory did not clothe himself like one of these.  But if God arrays the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more do so for you, O men of little faith? Do not worry then, saying , 'What shall we eat?' or 'With what shall we clothe ourselves?' For all these things the Gentles eagerly seek; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.  But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you.  Therefore do not worry for tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of  it's own."  In Chapter 7,verses 7 and 8, Jesus goes on to say, " Ask, and you shall be given to you, seek, and you shall find, knock, and it shall be opened to you.  For everyone who asks recieves, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it shall be opened. Perter wrote in his first letter, Chapter 5, verse 6 and 7,  "Humble yourselves, under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your worries upon Him, because He cares for you."  We may say that we give Jesus our cares, but in most cases we hand them to Him, but we really don't let go of our worries.  He says to cast them to Him.  That means you actually have to let go of them.  Then He can take care of them and the glory is His. To hear the song on this, google search youtube and key in Yeshuasfriend1.  Peace to you.
