About this sermon

Did you know that the word worry comes from the Old English wyrgan, which means “to strangle?” If we let them, worry and stress literally choke the joy out of our lives. Worry pulls us away from God’s power, but worship draws us to Him, and His presence changes us. So how are you handling worry? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Well, automatically, my worry was kicked in. 0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:44.360 That was my first response. I thought, Oh my gosh, 0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:48.480 what do I have to worry about? You See, that's 0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:53.560 what happens. Sometimes our worry automatically kicks in without us 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:57.760 even knowing it. We just worry when a concern or 0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:02.839 a care comes into our life. Now, this particular problem 0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:06.920 was not huge, it wasn't monumental, but it was a 0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:10.360 problem all the same. It was something that needed to 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:13.640 be resolved. So I had to push pause for a 0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:17.680 moment and make a decision. Was I going to let 0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:24.320 this concern overtake me, cause my mind to just spin 0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:30.440 out of control, fret and worry until the problem has 0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:34.480 resolved itself. Was I going to ruin my entire day 0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:40.000 because of this concern? Or was I going to say, God, 0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:43.320 you got to help me with this situation. God, I 0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:46.600 got to present this to you. You know everything about me. 0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:49.520 You said you'd fight my battles for me. Now, God, 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:52.080 I am giving this to you, and I'm going to 0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:55.760 try to rest and hear everything you would want me 0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:59.160 to hear from you. You see, we have to make 0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:03.520 this choice. How are we going to handle this thing 0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:08.840 called worry? Are we going to just work it in 0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:12.560 our minds? You know? Sometimes I when I worry, it's 0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:14.960 like I'm really doing something. I'm just working it and 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:17.680 working it and working it in my mind. I heard 0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:20.599 worry was a lot like sitting in a rocking chair. 0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:26.320 You're doing something, but it's getting you nowhere. We're just 0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:29.279 working it and working it and working it in our minds, 0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:34.360 and that's so unproductive. My question today is how are 0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:41.440 you handling worry? Because how we handle worry and stress 0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:44.080 it's going to make all the difference in our life. 0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:48.839 There's two sisters in the Bible named Mary and Martha. 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:52.320 You can find their story in Luke. Mary and Martha 0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:55.760 are two sisters. They had a brother. They were obviously, 0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:58.359 from what the scholars say, well to do people. So 0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:00.360 they have a lot going on in their life. They 0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:02.680 had money to manage, they had a home to manage, 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:06.800 they had a lot of things happening. One day, Jesus 0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:09.520 came to their home. He was going to stay with them, 0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:12.880 he was going to fellowship with them. I'm sure they 0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:16.120 were so excited. I'm sure that everybody in the town knew, Hey, 0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:18.719 Jesus is coming over to my house because this was 0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:22.800 a very important person. So I'm sure they were preparing. 0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:27.560 They were getting everything just perfect for Jesus. Jesus came 0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:30.640 to their home. And as they were fellowshipping and as 0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:36.640 they were enjoying Jesus, Jesus noticed something about Martha. She 0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:40.560 was buzzing around. She was working it, working it, working it. 0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:45.000 And he said to her, Martha, Martha, why are you 0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:51.200 so anxious and troubled about so many things? You see, 0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:55.239 he had observed Martha as they were in this home. 0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:59.159 He saw how she was handling all that to do 0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:05.200 that was going on. But in contrast, here's her sister Mary. 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:09.680 Now Mary had as much responsibility as Martha did. But 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:13.479 Mary said, I'm going to take this opportunity when all 0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:17.479 my busyness and all the concerns that I have to 0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:22.240 just linger here with Jesus because he's at my house today. 0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:24.839 I want to sit at his feet. I'm going to 0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:28.000 pour out my heart to him. So he can pour 0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:32.280 in his thoughts to me. You see, Martha was so 0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:38.240 disturbed that her sister would have the audacity to sit 0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:40.800 at the feet of Jesus when there was so much 0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:44.440 to do. That she said, Jesus, you need to tell 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:47.120 my sister to come help me. She needs to get up, 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:49.599 and she needs to get in this kitchen. There's the 0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:53.320 emails to answer, there's stuff on the stove, the kids 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:55.440 needed to be taken care of. There's a bunch of 0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:57.359 stuff to do, and she needs to get up and 0:06:57.400 --> 0:07:01.680 she needs to help me. Can you believe she would 0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:05.080 even say that to her? Guest of honor, He said, 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:11.320 to her, Mary has chosen the one important thing. She's 0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:18.200 chosen that one thing. She's chosen the better way. Now, 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:20.560 let me just tell you this right now, He said, 0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:26.400 there's one important thing. There's a better way. Now. He 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:32.120 was very much aware of the legitimate concerns that these 0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:36.520 women had. The Bible says that Jesus said, in this world, 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:39.880 you're gonna have trouble, You're gonna have hardship, You're gonna 0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:42.280 have some things that come against you. But be of 0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:47.120 good cheer. I have already overcome the world. Be of 0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:51.800 good cheer. I've already overcome the world. I guess when 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:53.720 you look at that scripture, you can say, easy for 0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:58.800 you to say, Jesus you are God. I still have 0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:02.760 these troubles and these concerns. But this is what he 0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:07.920 was saying. He wasn't saying that you shouldn't take your 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:13.120 responsibility seriously. He wasn't saying that there weren't legitimately things 0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:15.880 to be done. He was saying, there's one important thing, 0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:19.200 and it's the better way. What he was saying is 0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:22.800 all these concerns, all these crisis, all these things that 0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:26.000 are coming against you, you need to come hang around 0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:29.800 at my feet, linger in my presence, because see, that's 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:33.320 the one important thing that's going to help you get through. 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:39.120 That's the better way to handle worry and stress. That's 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:44.160 the better way to handle worry and stress. You see. 0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:49.479 I believe that Mary somehow figured out the better way, 0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:53.240 and she did it. It wasn't that she was lazy, 0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:57.880 it wasn't that she didn't care. Mary said, look, this 0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:02.040 is my chance right now to empty out the concerns 0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:06.080 and to put in all that God is. You see, 0:09:06.160 --> 0:09:09.320 that's the better way. Have you ever planned a birthday party? 0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:12.640 Or a holiday celebration at your house or some gathering, 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:14.760 and you were so stressed out that you made your 0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:17.120 own self miserable and maybe some of your friends and 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:20.520 family as well. There's a better way to handle the 0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:24.480 stresses of life. The word worry comes from an old 0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:28.800 English word in the fifteen hundreds that meant to strangle, 0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:33.960 to strangle. I think that's an amazing interpretation of that word, 0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:39.040 because worry and stress literally chokes the fun out of life. 0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:43.360 It literally pressures us in every relationship that we have. 0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:47.839 It steals our joy. Think about it. Jesus was at 0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:54.200 Martha's house. She couldn't even enjoy the fact that Jesus 0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:57.200 was there. She missed the whole beauty of the moment. 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:04.120 She couldn't calm it, relax and be peaceful. She allowed 0:10:04.600 --> 0:10:07.400 the stress that was going on in her mind to 0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:12.280 strain the relationship with her own sister. See, it was 0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:17.720 an attitude that changed. Worry doesn't change anything but your personality. 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:23.679 It changes your disposition. It doesn't make the situation better, 0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:28.920 Actually it makes the situation worse. I worked with a 0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:34.120 woman several years ago, and she had some legitimate concerns 0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:36.080 in her life, and I could see how it was 0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:41.000 affecting her entire life. Her son was in the military 0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:44.720 and he had been deployed to another country. She was 0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:48.960 extremely concerned about his well being and if he was 0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:51.520 gonna make it, and how things were going. She was 0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:54.120 so concerned and so worked up that I saw it 0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:58.439 begin to change her disposition, change her personality. She could 0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:01.920 hardly even function at war. And I said to her, 0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:03.840 I said, look, there's got to be a better way 0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:07.040 to handle the situation. I mean, he is there. There 0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:09.120 is not a thing that you can do about it. 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:12.840 You've got to come to this place of peace and 0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:16.200 rest in the Lord. So I begin to pray with her, 0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:19.080 and then I began to make some suggestions. I said, look, 0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:21.680 you need to get some scriptures. You need to have 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:25.760 them ready, just as your warfare. When these thoughts start 0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:29.520 strangling your joy and your peace, you need to write 0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:34.080 out some declarations. When you feel that tension coming against you, 0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:36.079 you need to say God, thank you that my son 0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:39.199 is in the palm of your hand. Thank you Father, 0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:42.679 that no weapon formed against him will prosper. Father, thank you, 0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:45.920 your angels have charge over him to keep him in 0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:49.520 all of his ways. He won't even dash his foot 0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:52.400 against the stone, but he'll tread upon the lion and 0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:56.760 the cobra, the young lions yaw he trample underfoot. Thank you, Father, 0:11:56.840 --> 0:12:01.199 you put a bloodline around him that the enemy cannot Father. 0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:05.960 I thank you Lord that my son will come home safely. 0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:10.480 I begin to see her put this into practice. Little 0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:13.960 by little, she began to take control over that worry, 0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:16.800 and I could see the strength come back. I could 0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:21.280 see her focus and her resolve come back. She began 0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:26.120 to praise God in the midst of her fear and 0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:31.400 her torment, and it made all the difference in her life. 0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:36.839 You see, worry pulls us away from God's power, but 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:41.920 worship and praise draws us to him and it changes 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:49.520 the situation. I have a good news to report. Six 0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:54.520 years servant in the military, and her son came home safely. 0:12:55.240 --> 0:13:01.720 He came home safely because he worries of weight. It 0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:04.440 weighs us down, because this is to not be productive. 0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:09.160 In fact, the Bible says, lay aside every weight that 0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:13.960 would so easily beset us come on us. So you 0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:15.960 have to lay it aside because it says that you 0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:20.040 have to run with purpose in every step, and when 0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:24.000 you are weighed down, you can't run. My sweet friend 0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:26.840 was so rayed down she couldn't hardly get to work, 0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:30.559 much less run. You see, when she began to lay 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:36.280 aside that weight, she was able to run out her purpose. 0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:41.320 See her prayers, her intercession for her son was much 0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:44.439 more powerful than her worry. When she talked to him 0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:46.720 on the phone, she could say, Son, I want to 0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:48.880 tell you, I'm praying for you. The angels of the 0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:51.360 Lords have charge over you. You walk out and you 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:55.199 be bold with confidence. Know that God Almighty is looking 0:13:55.280 --> 0:13:59.040 after you. She could encourage him to pray for himself. 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:03.319 You see, when she began to lay aside the weight 0:14:03.679 --> 0:14:08.280 and run with purpose, she was way more effective. There's 0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:10.800 a technique that I use, and I've used it for 0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:12.760 years and it works for me. You just got to 0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:16.920 find something that works for you, right. So, when I 0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:20.600 had these concerns in these troubles, I imagine a big 0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:26.040 helium balloon, big beautiful balloon, red red balloon. It's a 0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:30.680 power color. And I began to put those troubles in 0:14:30.760 --> 0:14:34.520 that balloon. And I imagine myself holding that balloon by 0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:37.400 this string, holding it out in front of me, with 0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:40.600 those troubles, and I look at that balloon and I 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:42.640 let it go, and I release it to God, and 0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:45.080 I say, God, thank you that you're bigger than all 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:49.160 these troubles. Thank you that you love me, and that 0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:52.480 you said you'd perfect those things that concern me. So 0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:55.280 I'm gonna give them to you. These troubles are just 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:59.160 gonna go right at your feet, Jesus, You're gonna take 0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:03.480 care of them. You see, sometimes I have to admit, 0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:06.600 sometimes I have to let go of a whole bouquet 0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:10.760 of balloons. Do what you gotta do, Do what you 0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:15.640 gotta do to release the worry and the care, because 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:21.600 Jesus will sustain you when you release it to him. Listen, 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:26.400 if you feel the pressure, the stranglehold of worry coming 0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:29.560 on you, even if it's automatic, push the pause button. 0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:34.440 Let's be like Mary. Let's take a lesson from this 0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:38.520 woman and let's sit at his feet. Let's linger there 0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:43.240 for a while. Let's empty out the concerns so that 0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:47.920 we'll have room to receive his goodness, his thoughts towards us, 0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:53.440 his wisdom, his joy. Listen, Wait is only going to 0:15:53.480 --> 0:15:57.800 weigh you down, but when you let it go to him, 0:15:57.840 --> 0:15:59.840 all things can be new again.
