Worry is a natural part of life, but not the full life that Christ wants us to have. Worry can enslave us and make us forget that the God of the Universe and Creator of all things is our provider and strength. Adam Barnett continues our summer study of the Sermon on the Mount by reminding us of Jesus’ admonition against the worries of this world.

We Ain’t Got Time to Worry

Sermon on the Mount | Week 7

July 8, 2018 | Adam Barnett

Matthew 6:25 (NIV)

Therefore I tell you…

Matthew 6:25-26 (NIV)

Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?

Matthew 6:27-32 (NIV)

Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 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.

I defeat enslavement to worry by preaching God’s faithfulness to myself and to others.

Worry is wasting today’s time to clutter up tomorrow’s opportunities with yesterday’s troubles.

Matthew 6:27 (NIV)

Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?

Matthew 6:33-34 (NIV)

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Worry is irreverent.
Worry is irrelevant.
Worry is irresponsible.
Worry is ignorant.

We ain’t got time to worry! We are too busy worshipping a faithful God!
