Jesus speaks of commonsense carefulness in a disciple as infidelity\u2014a
failure to have faith in him. If we\u2019ve received the Spirit of God, he
will press us on certain points, asking us to examine our commonsense
decisions and plans. \u201cWhere is God in this relationship?\u201d the Spirit will
ask. \u201cWhere is God in this carefully mapped-out vacation? In these new
books?\u201d God always presses a point until we learn to put him first in our
thoughts. Whenever we put something else first, the result is confusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

sure on ourselves about the future. Not only is it wrong to worry but
it\u2019s also a lack of faith. Worry implies that we don\u2019t believe God can
look after the practical details of our lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
God in us? The devil? No, the cares of the world\u2014\u201cthe little foxes that
ruin the vineyards\u201d (Song of Songs 2:15). It is always the little wor-
ries that threaten to derail us. Yet worry becomes impossible once we
accept Jesus Christ\u2019s revelation that God is our Father and that we can
never think of anything he will forget. People who trust Jesus Christ
in a definite, practical way are freer than anyone else to do their work
in the world. Free from fretting and worry, they are able to go about
their days with absolute certainty because the responsibility for their
lives rests not with them but with God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
not see.\u201d The only cure is obedience to the Spirit and abandonment
to Jesus Christ. \u201cAbandon to me\u201d is the great message of Jesus to his
disciples.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
