HOW WORRYING COULD MAKE YOU AN ATHEIST!
The Dictionary of Bible Themes defines WORRY as, "A sense of uneasiness and anxiety about the future. Scripture indicates that such anxiety is ultimately grounded in a lack of trust in God and His purposes."

Atheism is a lack of belief in God. It is a rejection of the belief that any deities exist. "The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good." (Psa.14.1.NIV)

Worry is generated within you the moment you turn to SELF for solution instead of looking up to God. This is contrary to what the scripture says and in a way, it is disobedience, which in a way is SIN. "If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them." (Jas.4.17.NIV). In that moment of worrying, you deny God. So, as believers, when we entertain worry, we are in and out of belief and disbelief or selective faith in God. Selective in the sense that we believe God can do somethings but not all things - meaning that God can do nothing. And if God can do nothing, then, He doesn't exist. By worrying, we are directly drawing a battle line against God. A battle that none of us can win. "So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the PAGANS run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them." (Mat.6.31-32.NIV). WORRYING IS PAGAN DORMAN!

Faith in God does not see the end from the beginning; it only trusts the promises of the God who knows the end from the beginning. The future is God’s. "He was driven away from people and given the mind of an animal;...... until he acknowledged that the Most High God is sovereign over all kingdoms on earth and sets over them anyone he wishes." (Dan.5.21.NIV). Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." (Mat.6.34.NIV)

In all circumstances, learn to trust God instead of worrying, He owns the Past, the Present, and the Future. Trust His plans for you when it is good or bad or ugly; you will come out as refined as Gold.

THE WORD: "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." (Mat.6.33.NIV)
