Mathew 6:31 “So do not worry, saying, ‘WHAT shall we eat?’ or ‘WHAT shall we drink?’ or ‘WHAT shall we wear?’”
In Mathew 6:31, Jesus shares a tremendous principle in what to do with anxious thoughts and worry. Simply put, He said not to let those thoughts out of your mouth! He said, “take no thought, SAYING”. Negative thoughts are going to come, but don’t give them life with your words. That’s powerful.
You might be thinking, “WHAT am I going to do with this child!”, “WHAT if I lose my job?”, “WHAT is this lump on my neck?” Those thoughts might be filling your mind with worry, but don’t let them out of your mouth. Take no thought, saying. Use your words to speak what God’s Word says about those situations. “My children are taught of the Lord, and great is their peace” (Isaiah 54:13). “God is able to make all grace about toward me, having all sufficiency in all things” (2 Cor. 9:8). “By His stripes, I was healed” (1 Peter 2:24). So, the next time you find yourself thinking “What? What? What?”, STOP! Then start saying the “Word, Word, Word”!!
