Keeping the wolves at bay

Who doesn't worry about something EVERY day? Some worries are small and insignificant and some are a load on our shoulders that seems unbearable. Whatever size they are, Jesus tells us over and over "not to worry, do not be afraid, fear not". This is a huge challenge daily for me, probably for most of us, but God's reasons as to why it is a senseless stupid activity for us to dwell on, are so simple... Because Our Father LOVES US. That simple. And He does not lie... He says, as our Perfect Father who loves us with an everlasting love, agape love, a love that NOTHING and NO ONE can take you away from, He will take care of EVERYTHING. And as a woman, I have been looking for a man, an earthly man, to do that for me as soon as I reached adolesence, maybe longer. But being human, there is no perfect man that can supply all my needs, all the time, everytime 24/7. Nor should any human be expected to... When u expect that from your mate, your friends, your family, you set them up for failure and yourself up for disappointment. So Jesus tells us not to worry. And how do we do that? Oh it isn't easy, but takes a renewing of your "old tapes" just like any habit does, but sooo worth it And necessary to live life in His fullness He has for each and everyone of us. Here is what "jesus calling's" insights have to tell us today...

REFUSE TO WORRY! In this world there will always be something enticing you to worry. That is the nature of this fallen, fractured planet. Things are not as they should be. So the temptation to worry and be anxious is constantly with you, trying to worm it's way into your mind. The best defense is continual communication with Me, richly seasoned with thanksgiving. Awareness of My Presence fills your mind with Light and Peace and gives no room for fear. This awareness, (that I will ALWAYS take care of you) lifts you up and above your circumstances, enabling you to see problems from My perspective. Live close to Me! Together we can keep the wolves at bay.
Luke 12:25-26; 1Thes 5:16-18

AGAIN, how do you and I gain freedom from worry, anxiety, fear and doubts? We TRUST in the Lord and we draw closer to Him, by focusing ONLY on our relationship with HIM. And we stay in a constant state of THANKSGIVING for all He has done, all He is doing and all He will do. He will take care of ALL the rest. And that is how Jesus and I and you keep the wolves at bay. ( and all this time we were told it was with a necklace of garlic!!)
