Philippians
4:6 (NLT) “Don’t worry about anything: instead, pray about everything. Tell God
what you need, and thank Him for all He has done”
We
are still looking at worry. There is another root cause of worry. It is pride.
Look again at yesterday: Proverbs 19:1,3 (amp) “Better is a poor man who
walks in his integrity then a rich man who is perverse in his speech and is a
[self – confident] fool… The foolishness of man subverts his way [ruins his
affairs]; then his heart is resentful and frets against the Lord”
What
one word for confidence in self? PRIDE. Why else would you worry if it is not
pride. It is pride that makes a man think he can take care of things himself
and not resort to God.
I
believe worry is sin against God if viewed in this light. If you see worry as
pride and sin against God, you will heed to advice of Peter in 1Peter 5:7
“cast all your cares upon the Lord for he cares for you”.
