Two conflicting forces cannot exist in one human heart. When doubt reigns, faith cannot abide. Where hatred rules, love is crowded out. Where selfishness rules, there love cannot dwell. When worry is present, trust cannot crowd its way in.

The best prescription for banishing worry is found in Psalm 37:5 "Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass." The word "commit" means to turn over to, to trust completely.

Think of the things you do not worry about. Perhaps you never worry about whether you will be able to get water out the faucet in your kitchen, or maybe you do not worry about a tree falling on your home.

Now ask yourself why you do not worry about such things. Is it because, in the case of running water, that it has always been there every time you wanted it, or that a tree has never fallen on your house before?

We can be just as certain and just as worry-free about God's love, protection, and provision because He has never gone back on a single one of His promises. He never changes.

GREAT IS HIS FAITHFULNESS!
