Luke 12 teaches that anxiety does not travel alone but with Fear. Have you noticed that in your own life, when anxiety comes it is accompanied with fearful thoughts, and the goal in Luke 12 is to deter from seeking the kingdom of God in their, your and my life!
Anxiety attacks the character of God, saying He cannot be trusted, though He means well, He just can’t be relied upon.
Anxiety lies to us!
Anxiety unchecked also can lead to depression!
Proverbs 12:25 reads, “Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, But a good word makes it glad.” Note the word “BUT”.…there is an alternative a “Good word” and Philippians 4:6-7 is a good word for it is God’s Word! See Anxieties travel companions, Fear and Depression and attack the character of God tempting you to succumb to it and in doing so divert from seeking as Priority the Kingdom of God in your daily pursuit.-{Matthew 6:33}
We live in enemy territory for this is not our home, we are the Bible says aliens and strangers, our citizenship is in heaven, {Read 1 Peter 2:11; Philippians 3:20}. And the evil one uses “anxiety” as one of his weapons in this spiritual warfare. “But God…” has given us everything we need for life and Godliness, and precious and magnificent promises to be applied to life’s situations we encounter as we live in this world as Ambassadors of Christ!-{Read 2 Peter 1:3-4; 2 Corinthians 5:20}
