Seven-Fold Sin of Worry

Good Morning,


1.  Worry accuses our Saviour of being unable to guide, protect, and deliver us.


2.  Worry slanders the love of God and treats it as if it were shallow and unworthy of our trust.

3.  Worry treats God as the Creator, but a Creator Who has walked away unconcerned and left us to our own means.


4.  Worry yells to the world that we do not think God is good.


5.  Worry sends a message to the world that Christ’s death and resurrection do not merit our resting and believing in Him.

Romans 8:32 “He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?”


6.  Worry, even in matters in which we have failed, mocks the mercy of God; mercy is new every morning.  The mercy that saved a sinner certainly merits our leaning on the everlasting arms.


7.  Worry tells God that we have better ideas about life than He does, and slanders the wisdom and foreknowledge of God.

We should pray.

1 Thessalonians 5:17 “Pray without ceasing.”

We should pour out our hearts before God.

Psalm 62:8 "Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.”

We should cast our burdens on the Lord; then as the song says, “leave it there."

Psalm 55:22 “Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.”
