Overcoming Financial Fear

Aqui um pouquinho do que Deus tem falado comigo ...
Espero que fale ao seu coração assim como tem falado ao meu!

God Bless ya .. ;)

Matthew 6:25-34 (New King James Version)
Do Not Worry
25 “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? 28 “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; 29 and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.


Overcoming Financial Fear
These words of Jesus teach us how to live in uncertain financial times without stress or fear. Financial fear is:
1)unreasonable- we are not to become distracted from the substancial issues of life over less important matters like what we will eat or wear.
It is 2)unnatural - we are the only creation of God who worries. God provides for the birds He created and we are more valuable than they are. We are outside of God's natural design when we worry.
It is 3)unhelpful - worry and fear do not produce anything worthwhile.
It is 4)unnecessary - God provides for His own and promises to take care of our needs.
It is 5)unbelieving - we are acting as if God did not exist when we live in financial fear. Our Heavenly Father knows our needs and He will provide.
