Don't Be Anxious About Anything.

“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.” Matt. 6:34.

The beginning of anxiety is the end of faith, and the beginning of true faith is the end of anxiety. George Muller Massena, one of Napoleon's generals, suddenly appeared with 18,000 soldiers before an Austrian town which had no means of defending itself. The town council met, certain that destruction was the only end that would befall them. The old dean of the church reminded the council that it was Easter, and begged them to hold services as usual and to leave the trouble in God's hands. They followed his advice. The dean went to the church and rang the bells to announce the service. The French soldiers heard the church bells ring and concluded that the Austrian army had come to rescue the town. They broke camp, and before the bells had ceased ringing, vanished.

When Jesus was traveling through Israel, a woman named Martha welcomed Him and His disciples into her house. This was a good thing to do. Hospitality in general is praised in the Bible, and opening your home to Jesus Christ is a very special opportunity to serve Him! Martha took this very seriously. She was busy with all the preparations that had to be made for such a large group of guests. In fact, she was so “anxious and troubled about many things” that she forgot to listen to Jesus’ words. She did not have enough time and peace of mind to sit down and take some “quiet time”. Jesus gently rebuked her for this.

It's a new month, it's also the last month of the year. You may have some troubles accepting that you have not attained certain levels of success you have desired to achieve this year. I know of a surety you will battle anxiety and worry, but you can overcome it with the help and power of the Holy Spirit. Keep your eyes and your faith in him. Keep your eyes and your faith on your vision, don't quit, don't give up till the end. Everything God has promised you, will come to pass accordingly. Congratulations. Happy new month.
