“Look at the birds of the air, for the neither sow not reap nor gather into barns; yet you heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not or more value than they are?” (Matthew 6:26) NKJ
Does money equal security for you? When you have money are you secure and when you don’t have it do you feel insecure? I am very familiar with this one. I get very stressed when I don’t have money. These feelings go all the way back to my childhood. My dad horded money because he was always afraid he would not have enough of it. I inherited a belief that a world without money is an insecure world. But is this true? Is my security literally dependent on money?
No, it should not be. It should be dependent on my creator to provide for me. He always does. He also gave me a brain, a strong body, creativity, and a calling to empower me to be successful in life. The Lord gave me an inherent power to create a meaningful and important life. When I worry about money and feel that is it my security it takes away my ability to focus on that power and His power. When I take my focus off God, His ability to provide, and the abilities that He gave me, he can't work like He is supposed to in my life because my thoughts.
Thoughts are very powerful things. They define who you are. There is a saying, "Whether you believe you can or you can't, your right." If your mind is stayed on Jesus then you can do anything, even walk on water, but if you take your mind off His ability to provide then you will sink into the stormy waters.
Matthew 27:6 says, “Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?” Worrying about money will not add anything to our lives. It only makes us have a lot of sleepless nights and takes years off of our lives.
So, does the lack of money do this to you? Does it stress you out so much that you don’t sleep?
