HAVE A COMMANDMENT
00:01:11.37\00:01:12.97
HERE FROM JESUS; HE'S SAYING,
'THOU SHALT NOT WORRY.' YOU
00:01:13.00\00:01:16.10
KNOW, JESUS SAID, 'YOU WILL
HEAR OF WARS AND RUMORS OF WAR.'
00:01:16.14\00:01:19.67
YOU'D THINK THAT WOULD BE A
REASON TO WORRY, WOULDN'T YOU?
00:01:19.71\00:01:22.11

00:01:39.79\00:01:48.30
>>NOW, I DON'T KNOW IF I'M THE
ONLY ONE THAT HAS A TENDENCY TO
00:01:48.34\00:01:52.01
WORRY. ARE THERE
ANY WORRIERS OUT THERE?
00:01:52.04\00:01:56.91
IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING
TO WORRY ABOUT, I COULD PROBABLY
00:01:56.95\00:01:58.78
HELP YOU THINK OF SOMETHING.
(LAUGHTER) THERE'S A LOT OF
00:01:58.81\00:02:01.58
THINGS THAT, IF YOU WANT
TO, YOU COULD WORRY ABOUT.
00:02:01.62\00:02:06.25
YOU COULD WORRY
ABOUT YOUR SALVATION.
00:02:06.29\00:02:09.82
YOU COULD WORRY ABOUT THE
SALVATION OF OTHERS YOU LOVE.
00:02:09.86\00:02:13.19
YOU COULD WORRY
ABOUT YOUR HEALTH.
00:02:13.23\00:02:16.63
YOU COULD WORRY ABOUT LIFE.
YOU COULD WORRY ABOUT DEATH.
00:02:16.67\00:02:19.57
YOU COULD WORRY ABOUT JUST
THE BASICS FROM DAY TO DAY.
00:02:19.60\00:02:25.01
NO LIMIT TO THINGS
THAT YOU CAN WORRY ABOUT.
00:02:25.04\00:02:27.71
AND, YET, IN SPITE OF ALL THE
THINGS THAT CONCERN US, DO YOU
00:02:27.74\00:02:30.98
KNOW THAT WE ARE COMMANDED
TO NOT WORRY, IN THE BIBLE.
00:02:31.01\00:02:35.12
I'D LIKE YOU TO GO AHEAD AND
JOIN ME IN THE SAME PASSAGE THAT
00:02:35.15\00:02:37.92
WE HAD IN OUR SCRIPTURE READING.
00:02:37.95\00:02:39.92
TURN TO MATTHEW
CHAPTER 6, VERSE 24.
00:02:39.95\00:02:43.53
AND HERE, JESUS SAID, "NO
ONE CAN SERVE TWO MASTERS; FOR
00:02:43.56\00:02:47.66
EITHER HE WILL HATE THE ONE AND
LOVE THE OTHER, OR ELSE HE WILL
00:02:47.66\00:02:51.40
BE LOYAL TO THE ONE
AND DESPISE THE OTHER.
00:02:51.43\00:02:54.44
YOU CANNOT
SERVE GOD AND MAMMON."
00:02:54.47\00:02:57.47
NOW, I'M READING FROM
THE NEW KING JAMES VERSION.
00:02:57.51\00:03:00.84
SOME OTHER VERSIONS
MIGHT SAY SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
00:03:00.88\00:03:03.35
THAT WORD THERE 'MAMMON' IS
ACTUALLY THE WORD 'ABUNDANCE'.
00:03:03.38\00:03:08.75
IT MEANS 'ABUNDANCE OF THINGS'
OR 'ABUNDANCE OF RICHES'.
00:03:08.78\00:03:12.35
A TRANSLATION WOULD BE
'AN ABUNDANCE OF STUFF'.
00:03:12.39\00:03:16.29
YOU CANNOT SERVE GOD
AND AN ABUNDANCE OF STUFF.
00:03:16.32\00:03:22.73
WE TEND TO
WORRY ABOUT OUR STUFF.
00:03:22.76\00:03:26.27
ALL KINDS OF STUFF - STUFF CAN
BE THINGS, STUFF CAN BE OTHER
00:03:26.30\00:03:30.71
STUFF - SORT OF
A GENERAL PHRASE.
00:03:30.74\00:03:34.61
AND THEN JESUS GOES ON, IN CASE
YOU HAVE ANY DOUBTS, HE BEGINS
00:03:34.64\00:03:36.81
TO SPECIFY. HE
SAID, "DO NOT WORRY ABOUT
00:03:36.85\00:03:40.72
YOUR LIFE, WHAT YOU WILL EAT OR
WHAT YOU WILL DRINK; NOR ABOUT
00:03:40.75\00:03:45.82
YOUR BODY, WHAT YOU WILL PUT ON.
IS NOT LIFE MORE THAN FOOD AND
00:03:45.85\00:03:51.33
THE BODY MORE THAN CLOTHING?"
NOW, WE'VE GOT A LOT OF
00:03:51.36\00:03:54.50
COMMANDMENTS IN THE BIBLE -
YOU'VE GOT THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
00:03:54.56\00:03:57.07
- AND, EVERY NOW AND THEN, SOME
OF THE COMMANDMENTS SAY, 'THOU
00:03:57.10\00:03:58.83
SHALT' AND OTHERS
SAY, 'THOU SHALT NOT'.
00:03:58.87\00:04:01.17
YOU ACTUALLY HAVE A COMMANDMENT
HERE FROM JESUS; HE'S SAYING,
00:04:01.20\00:04:03.64
'THOU SHALT NOT WORRY.' AND IT'S
EASIER WHEN YOU KNOW, 'WELL,
00:04:03.67\00:04:11.71
YOU'RE GOD. IT'S
EASY FOR YOU TO SAY THAT.
00:04:11.75\00:04:14.05
YOU KNOW EVERYTHING. BUT
I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING
00:04:14.08\00:04:16.79
TO HAPPEN, SO I'M WORRIED ABOUT
WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.' BUT THE
00:04:16.82\00:04:19.95
QUESTION IS: DO YOU TRUST YOUR
LIFE TO SOMEONE THAT DOES KNOW?
00:04:19.99\00:04:25.73
HE SAYS, 'TRUST
ME. LIVE BY FAITH.
00:04:25.76\00:04:28.20
DON'T WORRY.' IT WRECKS
YOUR WITNESS, FOR ONE THING.
00:04:28.23\00:04:32.70
CHRISTIANS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE A
PEOPLE OF FAITH AND, IF WE SPEND
00:04:32.73\00:04:36.81
OUR LIVES WORRYING - FOLKS
DON'T WANT TO KNOW HOW TO WORRY,
00:04:36.84\00:04:41.08
EVERYONE DOES THAT PRETTY WELL.
BUT IF WE MEET SOMEONE THAT
00:04:41.11\00:04:44.31
KNOWS HOW TO BELIEVE,
THAT CAN ACTUALLY BE INSPIRING.
00:04:44.35\00:04:47.95
I HEARD ABOUT TWO FRIENDS THAT
WERE TALKING ONE DAY AND ONE WAS
00:04:47.98\00:04:52.02
TELLING HIS BUDDY, HE
SAID, 'YEAH, MY HOUSE IS IN
00:04:52.05\00:04:56.99
FORECLOSURE, LOST MY JOB,
MEDICAL INSURANCE HAS BEEN
00:04:57.03\00:05:01.46
CANCELED, KIDS JUST DROPPED OUT
OF SCHOOL, AND' - HE SAID - 'YOU
00:05:01.50\00:05:06.70
KNOW, MY CREDIT CARDS ARE MAXED
OUT' - HE SAID - 'BUT I'M NOT
00:05:06.74\00:05:09.37
WORRIED.' - HE SAID - 'I'VE
ACTUALLY HIRED SOMEONE WHO IS A
00:05:09.40\00:05:12.97
PROFESSIONAL WORRIER TO WORRY
FOR ME.' (LAUGHTER) AND HIS
00:05:13.01\00:05:16.58
FRIEND SAID, 'WOW, THAT'S
AMAZING' - HE SAID - 'WHAT DOES
00:05:16.61\00:05:20.12
THAT COST YOU?' HE
SAID, 'IT'S $50,000.00 A
00:05:20.15\00:05:22.02
YEAR.' HE SAID, 'WHERE IN
THE WORLD ARE YOU GOING TO
00:05:22.05\00:05:23.89
GET $50,000.00 A YEAR?'
HE SAID, 'THAT'S HIS JOB, I
00:05:23.92\00:05:26.79
DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT.'
(LAUGHTER) WOULDN'T IT BE NICE
00:05:26.82\00:05:31.29
IF WE COULD HAVE SOMEONE
ELSE DO ALL OUR WORRYING FOR US?
00:05:31.33\00:05:34.60
DO WE HAVE SOMEBODY? >>YES.
00:05:34.63\00:05:38.30
>>DOESN'T THE BIBLE SAY THAT
WE CAN CAST OUR CARES UPON HIM?
00:05:38.33\00:05:43.04
WORRY IS NOT PART
OF GOD'S PLAN FOR US.
00:05:43.07\00:05:45.27
NOW, MAYBE WE SHOULD GO AND
START OFF WITH A DEFINITION.
00:05:45.31\00:05:49.68
TO WORRY, IT MEANS 'TO
FEEL ANXIOUS OR CONCERNED ABOUT
00:05:49.71\00:05:54.42
SOMETHING THAT MAY HAVE HAPPENED
OR MAY HAPPEN; TO TORMENT
00:05:54.45\00:05:58.22
ONESELF OR TO SUFFER FROM
DISTURBING THOUGHT OR ANXIETIES;
00:05:58.25\00:06:02.89
TO FRET; TO BE TROUBLED; TO
AGONIZE; TO BE BOTHERED; FEAR;
00:06:02.92\00:06:08.56
UNEASE; SLEEPLESSNESS.' THE WORD
'WORRY' ACTUALLY COMES FROM AN
00:06:08.60\00:06:13.57
OLD ANGLO-SAXON WORD 'WYRGAN'
AND IT MEANS 'TO CHOKE OR TO
00:06:13.60\00:06:18.77
STRANGLE'. HAVE
YOU EVER SEEN A PERSON
00:06:18.81\00:06:23.35
THAT'S JUST - THEY'RE
CHOKED BY THEIR FEARS?
00:06:23.38\00:06:27.12
WE HAVE AN EXPRESSION WHEN YOU
PLAY POOL: CHOKING BEHIND THE
00:06:27.15\00:06:30.95
EIGHT BALL. YOU
KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?
00:06:30.99\00:06:33.72
OR OTHER SPORTS THEY SAY,
YOU KNOW, HERE HE HAD THIS
00:06:33.76\00:06:36.12
FREE-THROW SHOT BUT ALL THE
ANXIETY - EVERYTHING DEPENDED ON
00:06:36.16\00:06:39.09
HIM AND HE CHOKED. YOU
EVER HEARD THAT BEFORE?
00:06:39.13\00:06:43.03
YOU'VE GOT A CHANCE TO DRIVE
IN THE HOME RUN AND WIN THE GAME
00:06:43.06\00:06:45.37
AND TURN EVERYTHING - ALL THE
PRESSURE, HE STARTED TO WORRY -
00:06:45.40\00:06:49.67
HE CHOKED - COULDN'T PERFORM
BECAUSE OF THE WORRY - IS WHAT
00:06:49.70\00:06:53.17
THEY CALL THAT. JESUS TALKS
ABOUT HOW WORRY WILL CHOKE YOU.
00:06:53.21\00:06:57.11
MATTER OF FACT,
HE HAS A PARABLE.
00:06:57.15\00:06:59.05
SOME OF THE GOOD SEED "FELL
AMONG THE THORNS ARE THOSE WHO,
00:06:59.08\00:07:02.52
WHEN THEY HAVE HEARD, GO OUT
AND ARE CHOKED WITH CARES,..."
00:07:02.55\00:07:09.49
NOW JESUS DRAWS ON A FEW
DIFFERENT ILLUSTRATIONS TO HELP
00:07:09.52\00:07:13.09
US UNDERSTAND THAT AND HE SAYS,
IN MATTHEW 6:26, "LOOK AT THE
00:07:13.13\00:07:20.30
BIRDS OF THE AIR," - NOW I
REMEMBER WHEN I FIRST READ THAT,
00:07:20.34\00:07:24.27
I THOUGHT, 'YOU KNOW, LORD, I'VE
GOT ALL THESE PROBLEMS AND THESE
00:07:24.31\00:07:28.38
ARE BIG PROBLEMS AND
YOU'RE TELLING ME, 'LOOK AT THE
00:07:28.41\00:07:31.21
BIRDS.'' AND I'M GOING, 'I DON'T
WANT TO LOOK AT THE BIRDS, I
00:07:31.25\00:07:35.35
MEAN, BIRDS DON'T WORRY LIKE
ME. THEY DON'T HAVE THE SAME
00:07:35.38\00:07:37.75
PROBLEMS I'VE GOT.' HE'S
SAYING, 'EXACTLY.' NOW JESUS
00:07:37.79\00:07:40.59
KNEW WHAT HE WAS
SAYING. HE SAID, 'LOOK AT THE
00:07:40.62\00:07:42.69
BIRDS...FOR THEY NEITHER SOW NOR
REAP NOR GATHER INTO BARNS;..."
00:07:42.72\00:07:49.36
NOW, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE
GET THROUGH THE BAD SEASONS
00:07:49.40\00:07:51.87
BECAUSE WE THINK AHEAD, WE WORRY
ABOUT THE FUTURE AND SO, IN
00:07:51.90\00:07:54.47
WORRYING ABOUT THE FUTURE YOU DO
HAVE TO PLAN, AND THAT'S OKAY.
00:07:54.50\00:07:57.11
AND SO, YOU FARM, YOU KNOW, YOU
SOW AND YOU WEED AND YOU PUT IN
00:07:57.14\00:08:01.71
A BARN AND YOU TRY TO
TAKE CARE OF THE NEXT YEAR.
00:08:01.74\00:08:04.05
HE SAID, 'BIRDS DON'T WORRY
ABOUT THAT.' BIRDS JUST KIND OF
00:08:04.08\00:08:06.85
WAKE UP - YOU EVER SEE
A BIRD WITH A SUITCASE?
00:08:06.88\00:08:09.92
YOU KNOW, WHEN JESUS SENT
OUT THE APOSTLES, HE PRETTY MUCH
00:08:09.95\00:08:12.69
TOLD THEM, 'YOU GO OUT - DON'T
TAKE ANYTHING WITH YOU.' NOW, WE
00:08:12.72\00:08:19.83
USUALLY DON'T TELL
OUR AFCOE STUDENTS THAT.
00:08:19.86\00:08:22.23
YOU KNOW, YOU'RE GOING
TO GO DO A MISSION PROJECT.
00:08:22.26\00:08:24.70
BUT JESUS, HE SAID, 'LOOK, I
WANT YOU TO LEARN TO TRUST ME.'
00:08:24.73\00:08:28.77
HE SAID, 'I DON'T
WANT YOU TO TAKE A PURSE.
00:08:28.80\00:08:30.51
I DON'T WANT YOU TO
TAKE AN EXTRA STAFF.
00:08:30.54\00:08:33.51
I WANT YOU TO GO OUT AND JUST
LIVE BY FAITH AND TRUST ME.'
00:08:33.54\00:08:38.61
AND DID HE TAKE
CARE OF THEM? >>YES.
00:08:38.65\00:08:41.15
>>SO LOOK AT THE BIRDS, LOOK
AT THE FLOWERS - "...WHY WORRY
00:08:41.18\00:08:46.39
ABOUT CLOTHING?...THEY
NEITHER TOIL NOR SPIN; AND
00:08:46.42\00:08:51.19
YET I SAY TO YOU THAT EVEN
SOLOMON IN ALL HIS GLORY WAS NOT
00:08:51.23\00:08:55.53
ARRAYED LIKE ONE
OF THESE" - FLOWERS.
00:08:55.56\00:08:57.80
AND, LET'S FACE IT, THERE ARE
SOME BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS OUT THERE
00:08:57.83\00:09:00.17
NO HUMAN CAN DUPLICATE WITH
THEIR LOOMS - THE BEAUTY OF THE
00:09:00.20\00:09:04.47
FLOWERS. AND, THEN,
JESUS MAKES A POINT,
00:09:04.51\00:09:06.11
HE SAID, "IF GOD SO CLOTHES THE
GRASS OF THE FIELD," - FLOWERS -
00:09:06.14\00:09:10.95
"WHICH TODAY IS, AND TOMORROW
IS THROWN INTO THE OVEN, WILL HE
00:09:10.98\00:09:15.58
NOT MUCH MORE CLOTHE
YOU, O YOU OF LITTLE FAITH?"
00:09:15.62\00:09:18.95
NOW, JESUS IS BASICALLY SAYING,
'LOOK, I SEE THE SPARROW WHEN
00:09:18.99\00:09:23.56
HE'S HUNGRY AND I FEED
IT' - ANOTHER VERSE SAYS THAT.
00:09:23.59\00:09:27.13
HE SAYS, A SPARROW DOES
NOT FALL TO THE GROUND WITHOUT
00:09:27.20\00:09:30.03
THE NOTICE OF
YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER.
00:09:30.07\00:09:33.10
AND THEN JESUS GOES ON - HE
TELLS US IN MATTHEW 10:31, "DO
00:09:33.13\00:09:36.24
NOT FEAR THEREFORE; YOU ARE OF
MORE VALUE THAN MANY SPARROWS."
00:09:36.27\00:09:40.04
IF GOD CARES ENOUGH TO FEED THE
SPARROWS, IF HE CARES ENOUGH TO
00:09:40.08\00:09:44.88
CLOTHE THE FLOWERS, HE
SAYS, 'WHY ARE YOU WORRIED?
00:09:44.91\00:09:49.35
I'LL TAKE CARE OF YOU.'
GO TO LUKE 10, VERSE 38.
00:09:49.38\00:09:54.02
NOW IT HAPPENED THAT THEY WENT
TO A CERTAIN VILLAGE - THAT WAS
00:09:54.06\00:09:56.16
BETHANY - "AND A CERTAIN WOMAN
NAMED MARTHA WELCOMED HIM INTO
00:09:56.19\00:09:59.69
HER HOUSE." - WE
KNOW THEY WERE FRIENDS -
00:09:59.73\00:10:02.20
"SHE HAD A SISTER NAMED MARY" -
ALSO HAD A BROTHER NAMED LAZARUS
00:10:02.23\00:10:06.37
- "WHO ALSO SAT AT
JESUS' FEET AND HEARD HIS WORD.
00:10:06.40\00:10:09.84
BUT MARTHA WAS DISTRACTED WITH
MUCH SERVING," - NOW THAT WORD
00:10:09.87\00:10:13.98
'DISTRACTED' - HAVE YOU EVER
BEEN WORRIED TO DISTRACTION?
00:10:14.01\00:10:17.35
YOU'RE GOING FROM ONE ROOM TO
THE NEXT AND YOU'RE THINKING OF
00:10:17.38\00:10:19.31
SOMETHING ELSE YOU FORGOT, YOU
KNOW, 'OH, I'VE GOT TO GET THIS'
00:10:19.35\00:10:21.85
AND 'OH, I'VE GOT TO WATCH THAT
ON THE OVEN.' 'THAT'S ABOUT TO
00:10:21.88\00:10:24.49
BOIL OVER, OVER HERE. AND
YOU'VE GOT THESE PEOPLE AND
00:10:24.52\00:10:26.49
THE PLACES SET - WE
GOT - OH THE DOORBELL RANG.
00:10:26.52\00:10:29.12
SOMEONE GET THE DOOR.' AND, YOU
KNOW, MARTHA'S JUST, YOU KNOW,
00:10:29.16\00:10:31.79
SHE'S LIKE COORDINATING
THIS DINNER THEY'RE HAVING.
00:10:31.83\00:10:35.20
LATER, IT TALKS ABOUT THAT
DINNER WHERE MARY WASHED THE
00:10:35.23\00:10:37.87
FEET OF JESUS, BUT
MAY BE THE SAME DINNER.
00:10:37.90\00:10:40.10
MARY, SITTING AT JESUS' FEET AND
JESUS IS TALKING, TEACHING WITH
00:10:40.14\00:10:43.47
THE APOSTLES AND MARTHA'S TRYING
TO TAKE CARE OF EVERYBODY.
00:10:43.51\00:10:46.04
SHE'S GOT A HOUSEFUL. I
MEAN, YOU KNOW, WHENEVER YOU
00:10:46.07\00:10:48.54
HAVE TO FEED 13 MEN, YOU
WANT YOUR SISTER TO HELP.
00:10:48.58\00:10:53.45
AND THEN, THERE ARE
OTHER GUESTS COMING.
00:10:53.48\00:10:56.18
AND MARY'S JUST SITTING THERE
LISTENING TO THE WORD; SHE'S
00:10:56.22\00:10:58.69
JUST DRINKING IT IN
AND HER HEART IS WARMED.
00:10:58.72\00:11:01.52
AND MARTHA'S GLARING AT HER.
00:11:01.56\00:11:04.16
EVERY TIME SHE GOES RIP-SNORTING
BY TO GET ANOTHER CASSEROLE, SHE
00:11:04.19\00:11:07.20
LOOKS AT MARY AND KIND OF 'UGH'
- YOU KNOW, KIND OF GIVES HIM
00:11:07.23\00:11:09.63
THE EYE - OR HER THE EYE - AND
FINALLY SHE SAYS, 'LOOK, JESUS
00:11:09.66\00:11:13.54
IS BECOMING AN ACCESSORY
TO HER IRRESPONSIBLE BEHAVIOR.
00:11:13.57\00:11:18.37
LOOK AT ALL I'VE GOT TO DO.'
FINALLY, SHE STOPS AND TAPS HER
00:11:18.41\00:11:22.61
FOOT WITH HER ARMS
FOLDED. SHE SAYS, 'LORD,
00:11:22.64\00:11:26.11
CAN'T YOU HELP ME?
DON'T YOU CARE THAT MY SISTER
00:11:26.15\00:11:29.72
HAS LEFT ME TO SERVE ALONE?
LOOK, SHE'S JUST SITTING THERE.
00:11:29.75\00:11:32.95
TELL HER TO GET UP AND HELP ME.'
AND JESUS SAID TO HER, 'MARTHA,
00:11:32.99\00:11:38.49
MARTHA' - AS THOUGH
SAYING IT ONCE WAS NOT ENOUGH.
00:11:38.53\00:11:42.16
CAN YOU PICTURE
JESUS SHAKING HIS HEAD?
00:11:42.20\00:11:44.17
'MARTHA, MARTHA' - I MEAN, HE'S
TALKING TO HIS HOSTESS, YOU'VE
00:11:44.20\00:11:47.77
GOT TO BE NICE.
"MARTHA, MARTHA, YOU ARE WORRIED
00:11:47.80\00:11:53.04
AND TROUBLED ABOUT MANY
THINGS." ANY MARTHAS OUT HERE?
00:11:53.07\00:11:57.01
COME ON, NOW, HOW MANY OF
YOU WORRY? AM I WASTING MY TIME
00:11:57.05\00:12:01.22
TODAY? (LAUGHTER) I THINK THE
QUESTION IS 'WHAT DO YOU WORRY
00:12:01.25\00:12:04.62
ABOUT?' I DON'T KNOW IF
THIS IS GOING TO BOTHER YOU -
00:12:04.65\00:12:10.63
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE GOING
TO THINK LESS OF ME AS A PASTOR,
00:12:10.66\00:12:13.46
BUT I DON'T WORRY ABOUT
YOUR TROUBLES AS MUCH AS I WORRY
00:12:13.50\00:12:18.50
ABOUT MY TROUBLES. (LAUGHTER)
00:12:18.53\00:12:21.70
I - IT'S NOT THAT I
DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU, YOU KNOW,
00:12:21.74\00:12:23.71
I'LL PRAY FOR YOU AND I MIGHT
HAVE SOME GENUINE CONCERN AND
00:12:23.74\00:12:26.81
THE BETTER I KNOW YOU, THE MORE
I MIGHT THINK ABOUT IT AND BE
00:12:26.84\00:12:29.94
CONCERNED ABOUT YOU, BUT YOUR
TROUBLES USUALLY DON'T KEEP ME
00:12:29.98\00:12:33.18
UP AT NIGHT.
(LAUGHTER) WILL YOU FORGIVE ME?
00:12:33.21\00:12:38.12
I THINK YOU WILL, BECAUSE
MY TROUBLES DON'T KEEP YOU UP.
00:12:38.15\00:12:40.12
(LAUGHTER) I WAS TRYING TO TAKE
A NAP - I TRY TO TAKE A NAP,
00:12:40.16\00:12:44.96
BRIEFLY, ALMOST EVERY DAY,
BECAUSE I FIND I GET A LOT MORE
00:12:44.99\00:12:48.53
DONE - A LOT MORE WRITING -
AND I LAID DOWN AND I STARTED
00:12:48.56\00:12:51.13
THINKING ABOUT EVERYTHING I
COULD DO AND MY HEART STARTED
00:12:51.17\00:12:53.44
RACING - IT WAS ALMOST
LIKE A MINI PANIC ATTACK.
00:12:53.47\00:12:56.57
I THOUGHT, 'OH MAN, I HAVE GOT
SO MANY MESSAGES TO PREPARE AND
00:12:56.60\00:12:59.91
ARTICLES TO WRITE AND LETTERS TO
WRITE AND I'M THINKING, 'OH MAN,
00:12:59.94\00:13:03.08
HOW AM I EVER
GOING TO GET IT DONE?
00:13:03.11\00:13:05.58
BUT THEN I REMEMBERED, YOU KNOW,
AFTER 20 YEARS WITH AMAZING
00:13:05.61\00:13:08.52
FACTS AND OVER 30 YEARS
PASTORING, I SAID, 'I'M STILL
00:13:08.55\00:13:13.62
ALIVE.' AND IT SEEMED LIKE
ALL THOSE OTHER THINGS THAT HAVE
00:13:13.66\00:13:17.29
HAPPENED OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS
SOMEHOW GOT DONE AND THE ONES
00:13:17.33\00:13:19.83
THAT DIDN'T GET DONE DIDN'T KILL
ME. I'LL PROBABLY BE ALRIGHT.
00:13:19.86\00:13:24.97
THE THINGS THAT YOU WORRY ABOUT,
SOMETIMES YOU LOOK BACK AND YOU
00:13:25.00\00:13:27.10
SAY, 'YOU KNOW,
GOD WORKED IT OUT.'
00:13:27.14\00:13:29.70
>>AMEN. >>AND I
WASTED ALL THE JOY I
00:13:29.74\00:13:32.54
COULD HAVE HAD DURING THAT
TIME AND PEACE AND GOOD WITNESS
00:13:32.57\00:13:35.71
WORRYING ABOUT THINGS I DIDN'T
NEED TO WORRY ABOUT. GOD TOOK
00:13:35.74\00:13:39.58
CARE OF IT. BUT WE HAVE
OUR THINGS THAT WE WORRY ABOUT.
00:13:39.61\00:13:44.75
HE SAID, "MARTHA, MARTHA, YOU
ARE WORRIED AND TROUBLED ABOUT
00:13:44.79\00:13:46.86
MANY THINGS. BUT ONE
THING IS NEEDED, AND MARY
00:13:46.89\00:13:50.23
HAS CHOSEN THAT GOOD
PART," - WHAT DID MARY CHOOSE?
00:13:50.26\00:13:53.16
SHE SAT TO HEAR THE
WORD AND SHE WORSHIPED JESUS.
00:13:53.19\00:13:57.07
SO DO YOU WANT TO WORRY
OR DO YOU WANT TO WORSHIP?
00:13:57.10\00:14:00.54
>>THROUGHOUT THE BIBLE, WE HEAR
REFERENCES TO THE COMING THE
00:14:00.57\00:14:03.54
LORD, OR THE DAY OF
THE LORD, OR THE LAST DAY.
00:14:03.57\00:14:06.98

COMING SOMETIME - IT MAY COME
00:14:07.01\00:14:09.41

AND WE NEED TO BE READY.
00:14:09.44\00:14:12.48

>>43 PERCENT OF ALL ADULTS
SUFFER HEALTH EFFECTS DUE TO
00:14:52.85\00:14:56.73
WORRY AND STRESS. THAT'S
ALSO TRUE AMONG CHRISTIANS.
00:14:56.76\00:15:02.13
UP TO 75 OF ALL VISITS TO
PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIANS ARE
00:15:02.16\00:15:06.03
STRESS-RELATED
COMPLAINTS OR DISORDERS.
00:15:06.07\00:15:09.44
WORRY, OR ANXIETY, CAN CAUSE
TWITCHING, TREMBLING, MUSCLE
00:15:09.47\00:15:14.21
TENSION, HEADACHES,
SWEATING, DRY MOUTH, DIFFICULTY
00:15:14.24\00:15:16.95

FATIGUE, IRRITABILITY, INCLUDING
THE LOSS OF YOUR TEMPER,
00:15:28.19\00:15:31.59
SLEEPING DIFFICULTIES,
NIGHTMARES, DECREASED
00:15:31.63\00:15:34.00
CONCENTRATION, LOWER
GRADES, AND HAIR LOSS.
00:15:34.00\00:15:40.27
THAT'S JUST WHAT IT
SAID. I DON'T WORRY.
00:15:40.30\00:15:47.81
SOMEONE SAID, 'FOR EVERYONE THAT
DIES FROM A MAJOR MISFORTUNE,
00:15:47.84\00:15:51.21
TEN DIE FROM LITTLE WORRIES.
00:15:51.25\00:15:56.02
SOMEONE ELSE WROTE, 'WORMS EAT
YOU WHEN YOU'RE DEAD; WORRIES
00:15:56.05\00:15:59.32
EAT YOU WHEN YOU'RE ALIVE.' AND
SOMEONE ELSE, 'HAPPY IS THE MAN
00:15:59.35\00:16:04.66
THAT'S TOO BUSY TO WORRY BY
DAY AND TOO SLEEPY TO WORRY AT
00:16:04.69\00:16:07.23
NIGHT.' HELEN STEINER-RICE, A
POET, WROTE A POEM: "WORRY, WHY
00:16:07.23\00:16:13.54
WORRY? WHAT CAN WORRY DO?
00:16:13.57\00:16:15.90
IT NEVER KEEPS A
TROUBLE FROM OVERTAKING YOU.
00:16:15.94\00:16:18.97
IT GIVES YOU INDIGESTION AND
SLEEPLESS HOURS AT NIGHT, AND
00:16:19.01\00:16:22.24
FILLS WITH GLOOM THE
DAYS, HOWEVER FAIR AND BRIGHT."
00:16:22.28\00:16:27.22
SO WHAT DO PEOPLE
WORRY ABOUT? DO PEOPLE WORRY
00:16:27.25\00:16:30.05
ABOUT THEIR HEALTH?
THEIR FOOD, CLOTHES?
00:16:30.09\00:16:33.49
JESUS MENTIONED LONELINESS,
CHILDREN, THEY WORRY ABOUT
00:16:33.52\00:16:36.39
MONEY, GOSSIP, THEY
WORRY ABOUT RETIREMENT.
00:16:36.42\00:16:43.70
36 PERCENT OF PEOPLE INTERVIEWED
SAID ONE OF THE BIGGEST SOURCES
00:16:43.73\00:16:46.87
OF STRESS IS THEIR
JOB. 22 PERCENT - MONEY
00:16:46.90\00:16:51.97
- THAT'D BE RELATED.
10 PERCENT - CHILDREN.
00:16:52.01\00:16:54.51
7 PERCENT HEALTH.
5 PERCENT MARRIAGE.
00:16:54.54\00:16:58.18
YOU KNOW, ACTUALLY, 10 PERCENT
OF THE WOMEN WORRY ABOUT THE
00:16:58.21\00:17:01.95
MARRIAGE; 3 PERCENT OF THE MEN,
SO IT AVERAGES OUT TO 5 PERCENT.
00:17:01.98\00:17:06.42
THE MEN THINK, 'YEAH, IT'S
FINE, DINNER'S ON THE TABLE.
00:17:06.45\00:17:08.06
OUR MARRIAGE IS FINE.' THE
WOMAN DOESN'T FEEL THAT WAY.
00:17:08.09\00:17:11.96
5 PERCENT ABOUT PARENTS.
5 PERCENT OF THE PEOPLE SAY
00:17:11.99\00:17:15.86
THEY HAVE NO WORRIES AT
ALL. SO I WOULD THINK THAT
00:17:15.90\00:17:19.13
THIS WOULD BE
RELEVANT. DOES THE EVENING
00:17:19.17\00:17:22.17
NEWS FRIGHTEN YOU? YOU
KNOW, JESUS SAID, 'YOU WILL
00:17:22.20\00:17:25.97
HEAR OF WARS AND RUMORS OF WAR.'
YOU'D THINK THAT WOULD BE A
00:17:26.01\00:17:29.58
REASON TO WORRY, WOULDN'T YOU?
JESUS SAID, 'SEE THAT YOU ARE
00:17:29.61\00:17:33.01
NOT TROUBLED.' SO, IF YOU'RE
NOT SUPPOSED TO WORRY ABOUT A
00:17:33.05\00:17:36.75
NUCLEAR WAR, THEN YOU
TELL ME, WHAT ARE YOU SUPPOSED
00:17:36.79\00:17:39.99
TO WORRy ABOUT?
JESUS IS NOT WORRIED.
00:17:40.02\00:17:44.96
YOU KNOW, YOU HEAR THE NEWS AND
YOU SEE - EARTHQUAKE IN MEXICO,
00:17:44.99\00:17:49.76
THREE HURRICANES - MAJOR
HURRICANES ON THE EAST COAST,
00:17:49.80\00:17:53.80
NORTH KOREAN DICTATOR KEEPS
LOBBING MISSILES OVER EVERYBODY
00:17:53.84\00:17:57.84
AND SAYING HE'S BUILDING A
NUCLEAR ONE - HE'S GOING TO TURN
00:17:57.87\00:18:00.74
US TO DUST, AND TROOPS ARE
AMASSING ON THE EUROPEAN BORDER
00:18:00.78\00:18:07.08
- RUSSIAN TROOPS - AND PROBLEMS
IN SYRIA AND THE MIDDLE EAST -
00:18:07.12\00:18:11.65
WARS IN AFRICA - AND YOU JUST -
YOU LISTEN TO ALL THIS STUFF AND
00:18:11.69\00:18:14.09
YOU THINK, 'BOY, IF YOU WANT
SOMETHING TO WORRY ABOUT, WE
00:18:14.12\00:18:16.86
OUGHT TO, YOU KNOW, WE OUGHT
TO WRITE IT ALL DOWN AND PASS IT
00:18:16.89\00:18:18.89
AROUND AND JUST
SHARE IT WITH EACH OTHER.
00:18:18.93\00:18:21.53
JUST SAY, 'LOOK, I'M NOT GOING
TO WORRY ABOUT THIS, YOU WORRY
00:18:21.56\00:18:23.10
ABOUT THAT.' JUST NO SHORTAGE
OF THINGS TO WORRY ABOUT.
00:18:23.13\00:18:27.24
SO YOU JUST HAVE TO MAKE UP
YOUR MIND, 'DO I TRUST GOD?'
00:18:27.27\00:18:32.27
>>AMEN. >>HERE'S THE QUESTION:
00:18:32.31\00:18:35.61
IS GOD WORRIED? >>NO.
00:18:35.64\00:18:37.61
>>IS GOD WORRIED
ABOUT NUCLEAR WAR?
00:18:37.65\00:18:40.32
'OH NO, I DIDN'T EXPECT THAT.'
I MEAN, IS GOD WORRIED ABOUT
00:18:40.35\00:18:45.62
ANYTHING? OR IS HE
COMPLETELY AT PEACE?
00:18:45.65\00:18:49.56
>>HE'S CRYING. >>OH,
HE MAY BE SAD, BECAUSE
00:18:49.59\00:18:52.96
GOD HAS EMOTIONS,
BUT HE'S NOT WORRIED.
00:18:52.99\00:18:56.70
SO - AND IT DOESN'T MEAN - NOW,
WHEN I TALK ABOUT NOT WORRYING,
00:18:56.73\00:18:58.90
IT DOESN'T MEAN
DON'T PLAN. SHOULD WE PLAN?
00:18:58.93\00:19:02.47
SHOULD WE THINK AHEAD?
YOU KNOW, JAMES TELLS US, 'IF
00:19:02.50\00:19:04.51
ANY OF YOU PLAN, YOU SAY, 'WE'RE
GOING TO GO TO THIS CITY, WE'RE
00:19:04.54\00:19:06.64
GOING TO DO BUSINESS, BUY AND
SELL' - HE SAYS, 'SAY, 'IF THE
00:19:06.68\00:19:08.61
LORD WILLS.'' HE EXPECTS US TO
MAKE PLANS, BUT YOU SUBMIT ALL
00:19:08.64\00:19:11.91
THOSE TO GOD BECAUSE GOD
REALLY HAS THE BIG PICTURE.
00:19:11.95\00:19:15.82
PEOPLE WORRY ABOUT ALL KINDS
OF THINGS - WORRY ABOUT WAR.
00:19:15.85\00:19:19.62
SOME PEOPLE WORRY
ABOUT WHAT OTHERS SAY.
00:19:19.65\00:19:22.79
A LOT OF FOLKS, OF ALL THE
THINGS TO WORRY ABOUT, THEY'RE
00:19:22.82\00:19:24.56
WORRIED ABOUT WHAT
OTHERS THINK OF THEM.
00:19:24.59\00:19:27.86
EVEN JESUS, HE TOLD YOU, 'PEOPLE
PRAY TO BE SEEN, THEY GIVE TO BE
00:19:27.93\00:19:32.40
SEEN, THEY FAST TO BE SEEN.'
THEY'RE WORRIED ABOUT WHAT
00:19:32.43\00:19:35.74
PEOPLE THINK OF THEIR RELIGION.
OR MAYBE YOU KNOW PEOPLE WHO ARE
00:19:35.77\00:19:40.24
WORRIED ABOUT WHAT
OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THEM -
00:19:40.28\00:19:42.68
WORRIED ABOUT
GOSSIP. HERE'S A LITTLE TIP
00:19:42.71\00:19:46.55
FROM ECCLESIASTES.
SOLOMON SAID - CHAPTER 7, VERSE
00:19:46.58\00:19:50.15
21, "DO NOT TAKE TO HEART
EVERYTHING PEOPLE SAY, LEST YOU
00:19:50.19\00:19:55.42
HEAR YOUR SERVANT CURSING YOU.
FOR MANY TIMES, ALSO, YOUR OWN
00:19:55.46\00:19:59.39
HEART HAS KNOWN THAT
EVEN YOU HAVE CURSED OTHERS."
00:19:59.43\00:20:02.70
LET ME GIVE YOU A MORE MODERN
TRANSLATION: DON'T WORRY ABOUT
00:20:02.73\00:20:05.13
WHAT EVERYONE SAYS, YOU'RE
GOING TO HEAR, EVEN PEOPLE CLOSE
00:20:05.17\00:20:07.44
TO YOU, SAY NEGATIVE THINGS
ABOUT YOU AND YOU'VE PROBABLY
00:20:07.47\00:20:11.07
DONE THE SAME
THING.' PEOPLE TALK.
00:20:11.11\00:20:16.08
PEOPLE SAY A LOT OF DUMB
THINGS. IF YOU WORRY ABOUT WHAT
00:20:16.11\00:20:18.65
EVERYBODY SAYS - I HEARD THAT
THERE WAS A WEBSITE YOU COULD GO
00:20:18.68\00:20:21.62
TO AND IT WOULD DO A SEARCH
FOR YOU AND FIND OUT WHO'S
00:20:21.65\00:20:23.65
TALKING ABOUT YOU.
THAT WOULD DRIVE YOU
00:20:23.69\00:20:27.26
CRAZY, WOULDN'T IT?
WORRY ABOUT WHAT EVERYBODY'S
00:20:27.29\00:20:29.66
SAYING - OR IF YOU
COULD HEAR - WOULDN'T IT?
00:20:29.69\00:20:32.13
EVERY - ANYONE - YOU COULD HEAR
WHAT THEY'RE THINKING ABOUT YOU?
00:20:32.16\00:20:35.16
THAT'D PROBABLY BE
REALLY BAD FOR YOUR SELF-ESTEEM.
00:20:35.20\00:20:39.10
DON'T WORRY
ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE SAY.
00:20:39.13\00:20:41.04
NOW, JESUS TELLS
US THE SAME THING.
00:20:41.07\00:20:43.97
HE SAYS, IN MATTHEW 5:11,
BLESSED ARE YOU WHEN THEY REVILE
00:20:44.01\00:20:48.01
YOU AND PERSECUTE YOU, AND SAY
ALL KINDS OF EVIL AGAINST YOU
00:20:48.04\00:20:51.68
FALSELY FOR MY SAKE."
WELL, MAKE SURE IT'S FALSELY.
00:20:51.71\00:20:55.92
BUT WHEN PEOPLE ARE SAYING
THINGS ABOUT YOU AND THEY'RE
00:20:55.95\00:20:58.15
RIDICULING YOU, AND THEY'RE
GOSSIPING ABOUT YOU, JESUS NOT
00:20:58.19\00:21:00.69
ONLY SAYS YOU'RE
BLESSED, HE SAYS, 'REJOICE!'
00:21:00.72\00:21:04.06
NOW YOU'LL REJOICE WHEN YOU
HEAR PEOPLE ARE SAYING NEGATIVE
00:21:04.09\00:21:06.49
THINGS ABOUT
YOU? SOME PEOPLE WORRY
00:21:06.53\00:21:09.56
ABOUT PROVISION.
JESUS SAID TO THE DISCIPLES,
00:21:09.60\00:21:12.90
"THEREFORE...DO NOT WORRY ABOUT
YOUR LIFE," - THAT'S A COMMAND -
00:21:12.93\00:21:17.71
"WHAT YOU WILL EAT...NOR ABOUT
YOUR BODY, WHAT YOU WILL PUT ON.
00:21:17.74\00:21:21.04
IS NOT LIFE MORE THAN FOOD AND
THE BODY MORE THAN CLOTHING?"
00:21:21.08\00:21:24.48
HE DOESN'T MEAN DON'T TAKE
PRACTICAL THOUGHT FOR THE BASICS
00:21:24.51\00:21:28.32
OF LIFE, BUT DON'T BE
ANXIOUS ABOUT THOSE THINGS.
00:21:28.35\00:21:34.52
PSALM 37, KING DAVID SAID, "I
HAVE BEEN YOUNG, AND NOW AM OLD;
00:21:34.56\00:21:38.89
YET HAVE I NOT SEEN THE
RIGHTEOUS FORSAKEN, NOR HIS
00:21:38.93\00:21:41.30
DESCENDANTS BEGGING BREAD."
DAVID SAID, 'THROUGH MY WHOLE
00:21:41.33\00:21:44.20
LIFE I HAVE NOT SEEN GOD
FORSAKE HIS PEOPLE.' GOD'LL
00:21:44.23\00:21:47.77
TAKE CARE OF YOU.
ISAIAH 33, "HE WILL DWELL ON
00:21:47.80\00:21:52.34
HIGH; HIS PLACE OF DEFENSE WILL
BE THE FORTRESS OF ROCKS; BREAD
00:21:52.37\00:21:57.21
WILL BE GIVEN HIM,
HIS WATER WILL BE SURE."
00:21:57.25\00:21:59.88
WHEN THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL
WERE LED BY THE LORD, OUT OF THE
00:21:59.91\00:22:02.78
WILDERNESS, DID
HE GIVE THEM FOOD?
00:22:02.82\00:22:06.55
>>YES. >>DID HE GIVE THEM WATER?
00:22:06.59\00:22:09.46
DID HE PRESERVE THEIR CLOTHES?
00:22:09.49\00:22:13.16
YOU KNOW, GOD ACTUALLY SAID,
AFTER 40 YEARS OF GOING THROUGH
00:22:13.19\00:22:15.83
THE WILDERNESS, HE SAID, 'I WANT
YOU TO REMEMBER, LOOK BACK, YOUR
00:22:15.86\00:22:19.50
SHOES DID NOT WEAR OUT AND YOUR
GARMENTS DID NOT WEAR OUT.' HE
00:22:19.53\00:22:24.21
SAID, 'I TOOK CARE OF YOU.' AND
SO, WHEN JESUS SAID, 'HE FEEDS
00:22:24.24\00:22:28.04
THE BIRDS, HE CLOTHES THE
FLOWER; DON'T WORRY ABOUT WHAT
00:22:28.08\00:22:31.01
YOU'RE GOING TO EAT OR DRINK OR
WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO WEAR.' HE
00:22:31.05\00:22:34.02
REALLY DOES TAKE
CARE OF US. >>AMEN.
00:22:34.05\00:22:37.59
>>AND, OF COURSE, PHILIPPIANS
- WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT WORRY?
00:22:37.62\00:22:41.22
"BE ANXIOUS FOR NOTHING, BUT IN"
- THE WORD 'ANXIOUS' THERE MEANS
00:22:41.26\00:22:45.09
'ANXIETY' - IT MEANS 'WORRY' -
DON'T BE WORRIED ABOUT HOW MUCH?
00:22:45.13\00:22:48.93
PAUL SAID, 'DON'T BE
WORRIED ABOUT ANYTHING.
00:22:48.96\00:22:51.10
IT DOESN'T MEAN
DON'T THINK ABOUT ANYTHING.
00:22:51.13\00:22:52.40
YOU UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE?
BUT DON'T BE ANXIOUS.
00:22:52.43\00:22:55.97
DON'T HAVE THE STRESS.
DON'T LET IT CHOKE YOU.
00:22:56.00\00:22:58.91
DON'T BE ANXIOUS FOR ANYTHING,
"BUT IN EVERYTHING BY PRAYER AND
00:22:58.94\00:23:02.74
SUPPLICATION," - SO THERE'S ONE
ANSWER - "WITH THANKSGIVING," -
00:23:02.78\00:23:06.45
BE GRATEFUL FOR WHAT YOU DO
HAVE - LET YOUR REQUESTS BE MADE
00:23:06.48\00:23:09.92
KNOWN TO GOD. AND
THE PEACE OF GOD, WHICH
00:23:09.95\00:23:12.35
SURPASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING,
WILL GUARD YOUR HEARTS AND
00:23:12.39\00:23:15.09
MINDS THROUGH CHRIST
JESUS." SO HERE ARE SOME THINGS
00:23:15.12\00:23:17.63
YOU CAN DO ABOUT WORRY.
PRAY, SING - YOU EVER WORRY AND
00:23:17.66\00:23:23.26
YOU START SINGING AND
IT JUST SEEMS TO EVAPORATE?
00:23:23.30\00:23:26.60
BELIEVE THE PROMISES OF GOD -
BELIEVE HE'S WITH YOU, BELIEVE
00:23:26.63\00:23:29.40
HE'S IN CONTROL. NO
MATTER WHAT THE PROBLEM
00:23:29.44\00:23:31.51
IS, GOD HAS AN ANSWER. YOU
KNOW THAT PROMISE IN ROMANS
00:23:31.54\00:23:35.84
8:28, "ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER
FOR GOOD TO THOSE WHO LOVE GOD,
00:23:35.88\00:23:41.78
TO THOSE WHO ARE THE CALLED
ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE."
00:23:41.82\00:23:45.22
COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS. EXERCISE.
00:23:45.25\00:23:48.42
SOME PEOPLE ARE WORRIED AND
THEY JUST NEED TO GET OUT AND,
00:23:48.46\00:23:52.23
SOMETIMES GETTING OUTSIDE
WILL BRING YOU RELIEF AND PEACE.
00:23:52.26\00:23:57.03
YOU MIGHT ACTUALLY WRITE
DOWN SOME OF THE THINGS YOU'RE
00:23:57.07\00:23:58.87
WORRIED ABOUT AND
THEN GIVE IT TO GOD.
00:23:58.90\00:24:01.80
SAY, 'LORD, YOU'RE
MY PROFESSIONAL WORRIER.
00:24:01.84\00:24:04.57
I'M GIVING MY WORRIES TO
YOU.' JEREMIAH 29:11 - CLAIM THE
00:24:04.61\00:24:09.98
PROMISES OF GOD, "FOR I KNOW
THE THOUGHTS THAT I THINK TOWARD
00:24:10.01\00:24:13.21
YOU, SAYS THE LORD, THOUGHTS OF
PEACE AND NOT OF EVIL, TO GIVE
00:24:13.25\00:24:17.19
YOU A FUTURE AND A HOPE." YOU
KNOW, SOMETIMES WHEN WE THINK,
00:24:17.22\00:24:20.46
'OH, GOD'S GOING TO DO ME IN.
I'VE GOT ALL THESE PROBLEMS.'
00:24:20.49\00:24:22.92
AND GOD SAYS, 'NO, I'M
GOING TO TAKE CARE OF YOU.
00:24:22.96\00:24:25.43
DON'T WORRY.' 1 PETER 5:7,
"THEREFORE HUMBLE YOURSELVES
00:24:25.46\00:24:31.07
UNDER THE MIGHTY HAND OF GOD,
THAT HE MAY EXALT YOU IN DUE
00:24:31.10\00:24:34.07
TIME, CASTING ALL YOUR CARE"
- WHAT PERCENTAGE OF OUR CARE?
00:24:34.10\00:24:38.54
>>ALL. >>25
PERCENT? 'LORD - I DON'T -
00:24:38.57\00:24:41.64
I'M WORRIED, LORD, YOU'RE NOT
GOING TO WORRY ENOUGH, SO I NEED
00:24:41.68\00:24:43.41
TO WORRY ABOUT SOME OF IT.'
IF I DON'T WORRY, WHO'S GOING TO
00:24:43.45\00:24:47.02
WORRY? CASTING ALL OF
YOUR CARE UPON HIM - WHY?
00:24:47.05\00:24:50.62
BECAUSE HE CARES FOR
YOU. SO, WHAT'S THE SOLUTION?
00:24:50.65\00:24:53.46
JESUS GIVES US THE SOLUTION
RIGHT THERE IN THE SAME PASSAGE:
00:24:53.49\00:24:56.93
"BUT SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM
OF GOD AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS".
00:24:56.96\00:25:01.86
OUR PRIORITY SHOULD BE TO
DO THE WORK OF HIS KINGDOM.
00:25:01.90\00:25:05.13
>>RIGHT. >>TO SHARE THE GOSPEL.
00:25:05.17\00:25:07.04
HIS KINGDOM IN US - HIS
RIGHTEOUSNESS - HIS KINGDOM
00:25:07.07\00:25:10.24
AROUND US. IF WE
MAKE IT THE PRIORITY TO
00:25:10.27\00:25:12.41
BUILD UP HIS KINGDOM - AND
HE SAYS, 'ALL THESE THINGS' -
00:25:12.44\00:25:15.41
WHAT ARE THE 'THESE THINGS'?
THE THINGS THAT HE MENTIONED
00:25:15.44\00:25:18.41
THAT PEOPLE WORRY ABOUT.
NOW, FOR YOU, IT MAY NOT BE
00:25:18.45\00:25:20.98
FOOD, IT MAY NOT BE DRINK, IT
MAY NOT BE CLOTHES, BUT WHATEVER
00:25:21.02\00:25:24.85
IT IS, IT SAYS, 'CAST ALL YOUR
CARES UPON HIM.' ALL THESE OTHER
00:25:24.89\00:25:29.59
THINGS WILL BE ADDED -
'I'LL TAKE CARE OF YOUR BASICS.
00:25:29.62\00:25:31.93
I'LL TAKE CARE OF WHAT YOU
NEED.' "THEREFORE DO NOT WORRY
00:25:31.96\00:25:35.36
ABOUT TOMORROW, FOR TOMORROW
WILL WORRY ABOUT ITS OWN
00:25:35.40\00:25:39.77
THINGS." WE ALL
REALLY HAVE THOSE TWO
00:25:39.80\00:25:42.14
CHOICES: ARE WE GOING TO WORRY
OR ARE WE GOING TO WORSHIP?
00:25:42.17\00:25:45.87
ARE WE GOING TO LIVE BY FAITH
LIKE THE BIRDS AND THE FLOWERS
00:25:45.91\00:25:51.15
AND JUST LIVE FOR THE GLORY OF
GOD, TRUSTING THAT EVEN THOUGH
00:25:51.18\00:25:53.65
YOU DON'T SEE HIM - WOULD
IT MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER IF GOD
00:25:53.68\00:25:58.55
SHOULD JUST WHISPER IN YOUR EAR
AND SAY, 'I KNOW ABOUT ALL THE
00:25:58.59\00:26:01.69
THINGS YOU'RE DEALING WITH RIGHT
NOW, DON'T WORRY, I'VE GOT IT
00:26:01.72\00:26:04.06
COVERED.' WOULD THAT - IF YOU -
WOULD THAT MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER?
00:26:04.09\00:26:07.60
WELL, WHAT DO YOU
WANT? HE'S DOING IT TODAY.
00:26:07.60\00:26:10.80
I MEAN, HE SAID IT
IN HIS WORD. >>AMEN.
00:26:10.83\00:26:13.13
>>IT'S NOT ME,
IT'S THE WORD OF GOD.
00:26:13.17\00:26:15.60
JESUS SAID, 'DON'T WORRY.'
HE WANTS YOU TO HAVE PEACE.
00:26:15.64\00:26:19.87
AND YOU WATCH, ONE BY ONE,
JUST AS HE'S TAKEN CARE OF YOU
00:26:19.91\00:26:23.85
THROUGHOUT YOUR LIFE - THAT'S
WHY YOU'RE HERE - I'M PRETTY
00:26:23.88\00:26:26.35
SAFE IN SAYING THAT. HE
WILL TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEMS.
00:26:26.38\00:26:30.52
PRAY FOR WISDOM, PRAY FOR GRACE,
PRAY FOR ENERGY - WHATEVER THE
00:26:30.55\00:26:34.29
THINGS YOU NEED TO PRAY FOR,
PRAY FOR THE PRACTICAL ANSWERS
00:26:34.32\00:26:36.52
THAT YOU NEED, BUT
THEN LEAVE IT WITH GOD.
00:26:36.56\00:26:40.50
HE DOESN'T WANT YOU TO BE
GOING THROUGH LIFE CHOKED.
00:26:40.53\00:26:43.47
>>AMEN. >>AMEN?
00:26:43.50\00:26:44.90
>>AMEN. >>GOD'LL
TAKE CARE OF YOU.
00:26:44.93\00:26:47.74
JESUS SAYS, 'COME UNTO
ME. CAST YOUR CARES UPON ME.
00:26:47.77\00:26:51.44
MY BURDEN IS
EASY. MY LOAD IS LIGHT.
