Jesus' Advice About Anxiety (Out of Zion Episode #97)
Transcript
1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,320
You know, Jesus understood that we all have concerns and cares, so he addressed that in
2
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:09,880
the Sermon on the Mount.
3
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:15,900
Today, I want you to stay with me and I want to share with you the words of Jesus about
4
00:00:15,900 --> 00:00:17,640
your anxiety.
5
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:22,520
So welcome to this week's Shabbat Shalom devotional where I try to just share a little
6
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:28,640
thought of inspiration and bring a little piece to the close of your very busy week.
7
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:33,920
So the last few weeks, we've been talking about the problem of anxiety that so many
8
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:35,880
of us battle.
9
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:42,960
Anxiety is an emotional mix of fear and worry that causes us to be overly concerned and
10
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:44,320
anxious.
11
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:49,680
We talked about steps that you can take to alleviate anxiety in your life.
12
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:56,160
First, just develop a weekly routine where you take a break, maybe on the weekend, where
13
00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:01,000
you can tend to your spiritual strength and your spiritual needs.
14
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:07,720
Secondly, is that to bring your concerns and petitions before the Lord with Thanksgiving
15
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:13,320
and then leave those concerns with him as it were, you were casting them off of your
16
00:01:13,320 --> 00:01:16,160
shoulders and onto his.
17
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:23,040
And then lastly, to receive the peace of the Holy Spirit because it will bypass all of
18
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:29,280
your worries in your mind and all of the fears in your heart and it will bring peace to your
19
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:30,400
soul.
20
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:36,420
So today I want to end our series on anxiety by just sharing with you some of the words
21
00:01:36,420 --> 00:01:37,420
of Jesus.
22
00:01:37,420 --> 00:01:43,880
I want you to just listen to these words, let them permeate your heart and just receive
23
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:48,200
the peace of the Holy Spirit as I read them to you.
24
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:55,960
In Matthew 6, this is part of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, starting with verse 25 to 27.
25
00:01:55,960 --> 00:02:03,320
Therefore, I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will
26
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,240
drink or about your body, what you will put on it.
27
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:11,760
It's not life more than food and the body more than clothing.
28
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,560
Look at the birds of the air.
29
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:19,400
They neither sow nor reap nor gather into the barns and yet your Heavenly Father feeds
30
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:20,680
them.
31
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,120
Are you not of more value than they?
32
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:32,200
And which of you, by being anxious, can add a single hour to his span of life?
33
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:39,840
And then in verse 34, therefore, do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be
34
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:47,120
anxious for itself, sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
35
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:54,000
And then in John 14, verse 27, Jesus said this to his disciples, Peace I leave with
36
00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:01,440
you, my peace I give to you, not as the world gives do I give to you, but let not your hearts
37
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:06,360
be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
38
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:12,960
So receive the peace that Jesus has for you this week and with that I want to close and
39
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:39,000
wish you a Shabbat Shalom.
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,320
