The Worry-Free Life


And don’t worry about food—what to eat and drink. Don’t worry whether God will provide it for you. These things dominate the thoughts of most people, but your Father already knows your needs. He will give you all you need from day to day if you make the kingdom of God your primary concern.

Luke 12:29-32 (NLT)


Understand, therefore, that the Lord your God is indeed God. He is the faithful God who keeps his covenant for a thousand generations and constantly loves those who love and obey his commands.

Deuteronomy 7:9 (NLT)


“It absolutely blows my mind how God answers prayer.” My friend Bill Ham was on the other end of the line. He had gotten a letter from the hospital stating they were forgiving the massive debt incurred for his son’s emergency surgeries.

“There must have been over $100,000 on that bill,” he went on. “Our God is awesome!”

He is awesome, and I’m not surprised. You see, God takes care of His own, and Bill has sold out to Jesus Christ. Lock, stock and barrel, Bill is pursuing God’s kingdom.

Who’s kingdom are you pursuing?

Do you crave worry-free living? Most of us do.

So then, let me suggest this: love the Lord your God with all your heart … and, over time, watch what happens!


Lord, take my heart and make it thine. Take my silver and my gold—not a mite would I withhold. Take my life and let it be … consecrated, Lord, to thee. Amen.
