Episode 1715: During Advent Don't Worry, Trust in God
So during this 3rd week of Advent as we are fast approaching Christmas (Friday now) Christmas (Monday) we need to remember all those people who have nobody, the lonely, the misfortunate, the out of work, the loss of family, loss of love ones and above all those who are experiencing major worries in their life. This advent reminds us not to worry and Be Not Solicitous, Don't Worry, Trust in God". This theme appears throughout various scriptures in the Bible, though the exact wording might differ slightly. Here are some prominent examples:
Matthew 6:25-34: This passage, often referred to as the Sermon on the Mount, explicitly addresses worry and encourages trust in God. Jesus teaches,
"Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body more than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof."
Philippians 4:6-7: This verse offers a concise directive on worry and trust:
"Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Jesus Christ."
Proverbs 3:5-6: This proverb emphasizes trusting in God's guidance:
"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."
Luke 12:22-26: Similar to Matthew 6:25-34, this passage encourages looking to God's provision for birds and flowers as a reminder not to worry about material needs.
So we must remember that during this final week of advent to trust God and not worrying and read what the saints said.
St. Augustine: "Hope has a good anchor; faith, a sure one; but love, the best of all."
St. Francis of Assisi: "Start by doing the small things that you can do. Small acts will lead to greater ones."
Mother Teresa: "God never gives a cross greater than the grace to bear it."
So take this confidence with you and go out and convert someone. Lets listen to what the good father has to say on this matter.
