worrying vs trusting and absorbing Jesus

Luke 10:38-42
Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus’ feet, and heard his word. But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her

A latest report from a singapore reputable doctor that worrying increases the chances of cancer and terminal illness. Bible says God doesnt want us to worry.... God said that if He took care of the birds who neither sow nor reap, if He took care of the lilies of the field.... He would take even higher care for us bcos HE loves us infinitely more than birds and lilies.... we are created in His image to befriend Him..... Worrying and anxiety is tormenting.... we must always discipline our heart to dun allow it to be troubled... worrying doesnt help... once we pray for the situation and commit to GOd... we should calm down and remain in peace and trust and believe HIm..... Jesus said:...." peace I leave with you... my peace.... let not your heart be troubled neither let it be afraid.... " we must protect our heart and mind from worrying.... one way is by reading the bible or reading devotions that magnify God and receive from the Holy Spirit... the Holy Spirit is in you and constantly teaching you and guiding you as you read the Bible or pray... or read good devotions.... Dont be like Martha who was too much distracted with much things to do and serving ..... be like Mary... who sat at Jesus foot and receive and draw from Him... today you can do that... the Holy Spirit in you testifies of Jesus.... sit still... and receive from Jesus thru Holy Spirit by reading bible... by praying... by singing... juz receive it all... Jesus said... if anyone is thirsty... let him come to Me and drink... and he shall be at peace and satisfied.... out of your belly will flow rivers of living waters... as you finish this devotion.. you have juz received from Him... its like a daily food.... His presence....relationship with GOd can help you thru real tough time becos GOd loves you.... and is with you..... dont be too disappointed if you always feel worry... cos most pple are like that... so it takes a choice to trust and believe GOd and spend time worshiping Him to feel the peace....and HIs presence and His love....
