THEME: Unsinkable

SERIES: An Anchor

TITLE: Don’t Drown!

Scripture: Psalm 37:1-11,23

 

I.    WHAT’S THE DEAL WITH WORRY?        

What does Jesus say about worry? (Matthew 6:25-32)

1.      Worry is (inconsistent). [Verse 25]

2.      Worry is (irrational). [Verse 26]

3.      Worry is (ineffective). [Verse 27]

4.      Worry is (illogical). [Verses 28-30]

5.      Worry is (irreligious). [Verses 31-32]

 

II.   WHAT’S THE ANTIDOTE TO WORRY?          

Some key words to see:

1)      (Trust) in the Lord. [v.3]

2)      (Delight) yourself in the Lord. [v.4]  “Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness and everything else will be added to you.”

3)      (Commit) your way to the Lord. [v.5]

4)      (Be still) before the Lord. [v.7]  “All men’s miseries derive from not being able to sit in a quiet room alone.” Pascal

5)      (Refrain) from anger. [v.8]

 

Two thoughts to think about when we read verse 23:

1.      Don’t dwell on yesterday’s messes.

2.      Don’t anticipate tomorrow’s stresses.
