Worry Is Selfishness In Desguise

There seems to be a theme developing in my week. If you haven't guessed it, I'm going through something and it's big in my life.

I can feel God's pull on my heart and life and as I sit here, tears are running down my cheeks because what I'm facing is propbably one of the biggest things ever!!

And these little devotionals are speaking to me and I just watned to put them out there for others.

I wanted to finish by saying, God I need you! Not my will but Yours!

God Bless.

Worry Is Selfishness in Disguise

Too often, people give in to worry without realizing how deadly it is. When you get to the root of it, worry is a sin. Worry certainly doesn't come out of faith, and Romans 14:23 (AMP) states that "whatever does not originate and proceed from faith is sin."

Most of the time, worry is based on one sin in particular: selfishness. Usually when we worry, we're concerned about how our selfish desires are not being fulfilled. The more selfish desires you have, the more you have to worry about, and the more complicated your life becomes.
God wants us to simply focus on serving Him.

It is God's will that we live our lives free from all anxiety and distressing care. He wants us to be free to serve Him without being 'drawn in diverging directions' (1 Corinthians 7:34 AMP). We must not allow the worries of this world to divert us from His purpose for our lives.

Seek to rid yourself of selfish desires. This will keep your life simple and give you less to worry about. Then you can wholeheartedly pursue God's great plan for your life.

Prayer Starter: Father God, thank You for showing me that worry is a sin. Help me to get rid of my selfish, ungodly desires so that I can simply pursue Your destiny for me.
