YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE CONCERN
Concerns for life, what to eat, drink and what to wear with. There will always be possible to worry about tomorrow: economics, family, romantic, work, health ... The list is long.
HOW we handle concern?
Often as we throw our concerns for good friends or spouse. We put too much pressure on the marriage when we throw the concerns of the spouse and expect that he or she will give us strength and encouragement instead of God.
CONSEQUENCES OF CONCERN
That worry has many negative consequences: You lose focus on what is important, you get a negative and destructive beliefs, mental disorders and as Jesus describes in the parable of the seed that stifle life concerns the word, so it does not bear fruit:
Mark 4.18-19
Still others are those sown among thorn bushes. They hear the word, 19 but the worries of this life, wealth while deception and lust for all things come in and choke the word, so it does not bear fruit.
