DON'T WORRY

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. Philippians 4:6

Someone once said, "Worry is assuming responsibility that God never intended for you to have." Yet it seems so much easier to worry about things instead of sharing our concerns with God.

It seems, we think that by worrying about our problems, they will vanish into thin air. But worrying won't bring solution to our problems.

What is it that you worry about? Is it your finances? Your health? Your family? If you worry, our Scripture verse today offers some good advice.

You know, if you think about it, worry really is useless. It has never solved a problem, never dried a tear, and never changed anything.
And most of us spend most of our time worrying about things that will never happen or circumstances we can't change anyway!

Worry saps your strength, destroys your spirit, and robs you of the joy in life. It takes its toll physically, emotionally and spiritually. It is only a waste of our physical and emotional energy.

In fact, worrying is one of the leading causes of heart disease. This is why God wants you to offer your concerns up to Him in prayer.

Today, I want to encourage you to stop worrying about your future, because God's got your future!

Don't worry about your life, because He has your life! Don't worry about anything, but rather, pray about everything!

There's nothing too great for God. There's no problem too hard for God to solve and there is no problem too small for God.

Prayer: Lord, You are my good Shepherd. I put my trust in You. I will not worry about anything.

Marriage: At what point is divorce inevitable?

Has your marriage reached the point of no return? Despite what others may say, divorce is a

choice for you and your spouse to make together.

At what point in a marriage is it too late to begin again? This is the vital question people ask themselves once they believe they've reached what I like to call "the point of no return."

This past weekend, I was talking with a very close friend of mine, and as I listened to the trials she's facing in her marriage, I honestly wasn't sure what my advice should be. It's so easy to look at someone's situation from the outside and say, "But you love each other. Isn't it worth one last shot?" And it's even easier to say, "The guy's a jerk. Throw him out!"

My friend's suffering has become too much, and she has reached that place where she feels the only option is to leave the marriage. Otherwise, she may never get over the pain, the betrayal, the dishonesty she has experienced. Several friends and family members are aware of her situation, creating a whole different level of complication.

So, at what point in a marriage is it too late to begin again? I like to say the answer is different for everyone. There are many factors to consider, but one of the first considerations is: do you still love each other? Sometimes, when two people love each other, they can make miracles happen.

If you are struggling and find yourself at that "point of no return," here are some ideas to consider.

• While you will want to seek advice from some trusted individuals, only you and your spouse know the whole story, and only the two of you should make decisions regarding your relationship.
• Be methodical about your decision-making process. Write down feelings and make lists so you can study things out.
• Take your time and don't rush into anything.
• Put your anger and hurt aside, and work hard to have deep conversations with your spouse so you can get to the root of issues that created your mess.
• Be open and honest in discussions with your spouse so you can make informed decisions about what you both think is the best solution.
  Even if you and your spouse decide divorce is inevitable, divorce can be done kindly. I know this from experience, and it's a lot better for everyone's well-being if two mature people can amicably agree to let each other go on with their lives. You will be happier, your children will be happier, and your world will end up being a better place

DEALING WITH CONSPIRACY

Now Michal, Saul's daughter, loved David. And they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.

Then Saul said, "Thus you shall say to David: The king does not desire any dowry but one hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to take vengeance on the king's enemies.'" But Saul thought to make David fall by the hands of the Philistines.

Thus Saul saw and knew that the Lord was with David, and that Michal, Saul's daughter, loved him; and Saul was still more afraid of David. So Saul became David's enemy continually.

Then the princes of the Philistines went out to war. And so it was, whenever they went out, that David behaved more wisely than all the servants of Saul, so that his name became highly esteemed. 1 Samuel 18:20, 25, 28-30

There is a great lesson we must learn from David in how he conducted himself when Saul conspired to eliminate him.

David's continued success and good conduct only served to worsen his relationship with Saul.

Soon his very life was under threat. Saul tried unsuccessfully to kill David with a spear.

When this and all other efforts failed, he resorted to using his daughter Michal's love as a bait to get the Philistines to kill him. But in all these, the Bible says, "David behaved even more wisely."

What do you do when someone seems to be determined to destroy your reputation, your efforts, or your very life?

How do you respond when your opponents plot against you and use any available media to peddle rumour, lies and insults about you?

Do you take the same rubbish and throw it back at them, or you will exercise restraint and behave wisely? There are some battles you don't fight. It takes wisdom to discern.

Prayer: Lord, give me discernment to know which battle is Yours.

REVISE YOUR PRIORITIES

So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. Psalm 90:12

Our lives are more meaningful and complete when all our efforts are focused on the things that mean the most to us.

People who have identified and embraced a clear purpose in life are able to accomplish far more than those who have not.

It is therefore important for us to set the right agenda for our lives, prioritize accordingly, and keep our lives in balance.

What then should be the most important priorities in your life?

1. Let God be your topmost priority. Set a priority that you will serve God and do His will.

2. Invest quality time into the lives of the people you love.

3. Take a risk. Do something that you don't normally do. Take a bold step towards something of value. Take a giant leap. Do something bold and courageous for once.

4. Put some money aside for your future. Commit yourself never to touch the money, even if you are in need.

Have a clear plan concerning your savings or investment notably, the amount per month, where and how you would invest it and how long you want to keep the investment running.

The more the discipline and commitment to the plan, the more likely are its chances of success.

5. Invest sacrificially in something you will be proud of in the future. Sacrifice in something noble something worthy.

When you grow old, there must be landmarks all over life that have your name and signature on them. Let it be that you passed this way and left your impact and influence on people's lives.

Re-ordering your priorities and committing time and resources to the most important things in your life will ensure that your life gets better each year than the year before.

Prayer: Lord, give me wisdom to put the first things first.

Lyrics to Through It AllVerse 1
I've had many tears and sorrows,
I've had questions for tomorrow,
there's been times I didn't know right from wrong.
But in every situation,
God gave me blessed consulation,
that my trials come to only make me strong.

Chorus
Through it all,
through it all,
I've learned to trust in Jesus,
I've learned to trust in God.

Through it all,
through it all,
I've learned to depend upon His Word.

Verse 2
I've been to lots of places,
I've seen a lot of faces,
there's been times I felt so all alone.
But in my lonely hours,
yes, those precious lonely hours,
Jesus lets me know that I was His own

Chorus

Verse 3
I thank God for the mountains,
and I thank Him for the valleys,
I thank Him for the storms He brought me through.
For if I'd never had a problem,
I wouldn't know God could solve them,
I'd never know what faith in God could do
