Don't Worry Be Happy

“Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don’t get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes."  Matthew 6:34

The verse before this one, is a memory verse, Marthew 6:33 ( But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you). But this one (6:34) is I believe equally important to apply to the way believers live their lives.

And if you really think about it, very many, if not most "words of wisdom" life-coaches and other counselors give their "clients" are bible based or taken from the bible or in line with what the bible teaches.

So if we don't read the bible, we wouldn't even know. Very many of these (secular) "counselors" just take out the part referring to God and worse, some make it appear as if they have come up with a new, revolutionary concept in living our lives.

But if you are a bible hungry and bible reading believer, you probably would know more insight than these so-called professional counselors and that you would know that there is nothing really new, under the sun; ideas and concepts are just rehashed, reworded and repackaged, for different reasons.

This is why the early church leaders taught the early believers to not neglect "meeting together", meaning coming to sunday and mid-weeek servivces, life group and prayer meetings and other christian fellowship events, so they would have a venue or opportunity to teach, learn and encourage one another through the words of the apostles and the Lord Jesus Christ.

This holds true up to this day. And remember, the world will pass away, but God's word will not pass away.
