Paul starts off by telling the people how much he loves them and longs to see them (v. 1). He then tells two women in the Church to stop arguing (v. 2) and for others to help them (vv. 3-5). Paul takes time in this chapter to explain how we can have victory over another joy robber, worry . (vv. 6-9). What is worry? It is when our hopes are pulled in one direction, our fears are pulled in the opposite direction, and we are pulled apart. It is a fact that worry has definite physical consequences such as headaches, neck pains, ulcers and even back pains. From the spiritual point of view, worry is wrong thinking (the mind) and wrong feeling (the heart) about people, circumstances and things. The only way to conquer worry is for us to meet the conditions that God has laid down in His Word:
Application
There is no need to worry! Worry is a sin! I need to take time to read Matt. 6:24-34 again and apply it in my life.
