Learning to enjoy life

Matt 6:25-34

Do Not Worry

25"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 important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26Look 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? 27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life[b]?

28"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30If 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, O you of little faith? 31So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

The bible teaches to not worry and trust God. I have learned 4 truths which i hope could bless all of us

Fact 1 – We all desire things in life

Everyone of us wants something in life, everyone desire something.. a partner, riches, good health, etc. No one tell me that they don’t want anything in life.

Fact 2 – Past cannot be changed

Try as you might past never changes. Wallowing over the past only stops you from enjoying the present and see beyond tomorrow.

Fact 3 – I can determine how I will feel today

Today is currently, right now… you can feel excited or not. You can choose to open your hearts or close your heart

Fact 4 – Only God has access to tomorrow.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.(Philippians 4:6-7)


Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully" (1 Peter 5:7 Amplified Bible).

The key for greater Joy in life, is to understand the God controls tomorrow as long as we follow God and obey God whatever you do in life will be blessed. God wants to bless us and not harm us So what I would do is ask Jesus to take care of my future as I work out my present. I don’t want to worry on things I have no control over.
