1. "I've told you all this so that trusting me, you will be unshakable and assured, deeply at peace. In this godless world you will continue to experience difficulties. But take heart! I've conquered the world." (John 16:33 MSG)
Worry disconnects us from God’s best, when as a result of worrying, we take matters into our own hands and start scheming in our own limited resources, we miss out on God’s superior ways of doing things that our own limited mind cannot comprehend. We do a great disservice to ourselves.
1. "I don't think the way you think. The way you work isn't the way I work." GOD's Decree. "For as the sky soars high above earth, so the way I work surpasses the way you work, and the way I think is beyond the way you think." (Isaiah 55:8-9 MSG)
2. "God can do anything, you know--far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us." (Ephesians 3:20 MSG)
3. "Because the foolish thing of God is wiser than men, and the weak thing of God is stronger than men." (1 Corinthians 1:25 MKJV)
4. "It's also the cause of all this trouble I'm in. But I have no regrets. I couldn't be more sure of my ground--the One I've trusted in can take care of what he's trusted me to do right to the end. So keep at your work, this faith and love rooted in Christ, exactly as I set it out for you. It's as sound as the day you first heard it from me."
(2 Timothy 1:12-13 MSG)
5. ""Then Jesus called the crowd and his disciples to him. "If any of you want to come with me," he told them, "you must forget yourself, carry your cross, and follow me. For if you want to save your own life, you will lose it; but if you lose your life for me and for the gospel, you will save it. Do you gain anything if you win the whole world but lose your life? Of course not! There is nothing you can give to regain your life." (Mark 8:34-37 GNB)
His wisdom so High
His power so great
So much more than mine
The void too great to breach
A bridge so wide, I tried to build
To Him, I aspired to reach
Holding tight to my insufficiency
Alas for so long I tried
To hold unto mine and reach for His
To breach the void required a great leap
In my attempt, I fell to my death
Only to be resurrected and found in Him
Having traversed the void
That only death and life can breach
All we do independent of Him is declared as amounting to nothing.
1. "I am the real vine, and my Father is the gardener. He breaks off every branch in me that does not bear fruit, and he prunes every branch that does bear fruit, so that it will be clean and bear more fruit. You have been made clean already by the teaching I have given you. Remain united to me, and I will remain united to you. A branch cannot bear fruit by itself; it can do so only if it remains in the vine. In the same way you cannot bear fruit unless you remain in me. "I am the vine, and you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will bear much fruit; for you can do nothing without me. Those who do not remain in me are thrown out like a branch and dry up; such branches are gathered up and thrown into the fire, where they are burned. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, then you will ask for anything you wish, and you shall have it. My Father's glory is shown by your bearing much fruit; and in this way you become my disciples." (John 15:1-8 GNB)
2. "A pilgrim song of Solomon. If GOD doesn't build the house, the builders only build shacks. If GOD doesn't guard the city, the night watchman might as well nap. It's useless to rise early and go to bed late, and work your worried fingers to the bone. Don't you know he enjoys giving rest to those he loves?" (Psalms 127:1-2 MSG)
