My ID: The Antidote To My Worries

"But more than anything else, put God's work first and do what He wants.  Then the other things will be yours as well."  (Matthew 6:33)
Reading: Matthew 6:24-34

If I don't have ID I don't get in.  Without proper identification of who I am there are certain places I cannot go.  There are certain privileges I cannot enjoy.  And there are experiences I cannot have.  It is amazing how a badge or a passport or a license that displays identity can make or break how my life gets lived and experienced.  In this world we live in there is always reason for worries and anxieties.  You name it.  Someone is struggling through it.  It is hard to fight against worries and anxieties.  They plague us all the time.  They don't seem to stop coming.  Books are written, have been written, and will be written about them. But they will always be there.  Wouldn't you like to be in a state or place of being where you don't have to worry or be anxious?  Wouldn't you like to enter a place... an environment where worries and anxieties don't get to poison your mind, your heart, or at least your day?  In Matthew 6:24-34 we will find that Jesus talks about such a place.  It is an awesome state of consciousness where even money (a major cause of worries and anxieties) can't take away our peace of mind.  There is only one problem: we need ID to enter this incredible worry-free place.   I need my dad to get this ID.  It is his ID actually that I wear in my heart and soul.  It is a supernatural ID because my true dad is supernatural.  Jesus calls him "ABBA"... my father... dad.  This ID marks me as the one who loves my daddy more than money... or anything.  When I wear this ID it identifies me as someone who lives for my daddy's business and ONLY His business.  As a result with this ID I get to enter a worry-free zone... an anxiety-clear environment.   If you're deep in worries and anxieties.  Take a look at your heart.  Who's ID are you wearing?  If it's not your supernatural dad's ID then you're probably in the wrong place.

"Lord I would really like to wear your ID in my heart.  I can't live with all these worries and anxieties.  They will kill me.  Let your ID be reflected in my priorities, and my values... that my business in life is YOURS and ONLY YOUR business.  Oh!  I'm in?  Wow! This is a great place to be!"
