“Following Jesus and Loving People”

 

There are Issues and there are issues. Why do so many of us worry more about the  issues (small “i”) and overlook the major ones? As people with many daily responsibilities, we need to learn to discern which issues to address, and which to ignore, and which to deal with later. We can’t do everything we want or all that we are asked to do, so we need wisdom to pick and choose. Everything we say yes to means that we say no to something else. If we say yes to assorted minor issues while neglecting the most important, we experience troubled minds filled with anxiety. Jesus told a story about someone who received God’s Word into their lives. However, the Word made no lasting impact because of “the   worries of this life and the deceitfulness of riches” that choked the fruit. Sadly, many go through their whole life bouncing frantically from one minor issue to another and never find answers to the major questions…like “why am I here?” and “what does God want in my life?”

God’s Word gives us the remedy for anxiety. Psalms 55:22 says, “Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall.” Commit your life to the Lord, always directing your heart to love and obey him. As the cares of life come, turn them over to the Lord in prayer. Believe that God will take care of you and your issues as you simply trust him and seek him. This doesn’t mean we sit back and do nothing. Through our relationship with the Lord, we learn to take action on the major responsibilities as well as deal with life’s everyday minor issues. He teaches us to build order and discipline into our daily schedules. Becoming a follower of Jesus means learning how to manage and overcome the worries of life. Now, that’s a big issue!
