The Sermon on the Mount was very convicting. I will like to talk about anxiety. We haven't got to this section yet, but I will talk about it anyway! Anxiety is something I have really struggled with in my life. I often worry about what i will wear, and even more what I look like. I struggle with this so much! I guess it shows I have not a whole of faith, because when Jesus talks about this issue, he says if we worry, we have little faith. Also, it shows I don't trust God with my future. If i totally trusted him, I wouldn't worry about stupid things.
Some ways i plan on changing my life are to trust in God more. I plan to get in the Word more and really KNOW who God is and his character. It's easy to say we know who God is, but it's different to say you KNOW him personally. I used to have a devotional every day, but I've been slipping away, so I plan to get back up and start to have a daily time with God again. I think by doing that, I will get to know God more and see who he really is. Also, I will try to think of others before myself. When I think of others, I won't be thinking about me, and therefore, I wont have to worry about me. I also plan on not spending so much time picking out what I'm going to wear each day. That is one of the main reasons I worry because I feel I have to look nice all the time for people to like me, but it doesn't really matter how I look, it matters that God loves me!
I really like the Sermon on the Mount. It really challenged me to think about everything I do and gave me a basis to live on.
This was very good. I'm glad you feel this way and I agree with you on how moving it was.
ReplyDeleteThat is so true if we would just trust God we would have no reason to worry about all the stupid things that we do worry about. Thanks for the reminder.
