Isaiah 48:17 and Matthew 6:34

Thus says the Lord God, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am the Lord, your God who teaches you what is for your own good and who leads you in the way you should go.
and
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

The Word of the Lord.

These are extremely important words from God. God is telling us here that he knows what the best for us is, and he actively works in our lives to make sure that we are being led to the right way, the way to salvation, life, and liberty from the snares of sin and death. Notice also that he says that he is your redeemer, a title commonly referred to Jesus Christ, so we can know for sure here that in the Isaiah Scripture, this is Christ directly talking to us before he was born of the Virgin Mary, in other words, the Pre-Incarnate Christ, the Son of God. This goes to show us that God is indeed all-knowing and ever-present with us, and in his Wisdom and Love, he teaches us what is good for us, which is Salvation in the Lord, Grace from God, and the Life and Love of God in Eternal Communion with God. He continually in our lives teaches us and leads us to these wonderful and good things that he continually wants us to come to. The way we should go is God's Kingdom, in where there is God's eternal Love and Life that we can partake of, and for the faithful in Christ, will partake of. 

He teaches us many things, and one of the wonderful teachings of God that can give us the fullness of Life is his teaching to not worry. Anxiety is sinful, in that when one is anxious, they are doubting God's sovereignty, that is God being in control of everything. Such doubt in God in the form of anxiety shows a lack of trust and faith in God, which is sinful, but of course can be forgiven of when one has a contrite heart. Worrying wastes the Christian's time, time that can be spent Loving God and Glorifying God. This is why our Lord teaches us to not worry about anything, for he is in control, and nothing will happen outside of his perfect will. He cares for you, he knows exactly how to get you to heaven, and will continually work in your life and love you throughout life so that you, enduring all things for the sake of Christ, can have Eternal Life forever in the Love of God, when the Kingdom of Heaven is forevermore established when Christ comes again.

So, this is for all of you: don't worry at all about anything, for God is in control of everything, and nothing gets past God. He works in your life to ensure that you will know God, be connected to God, and dwell in the Love of God forevermore. He teaches you the way to Eternal Life, and you should obey him, for he wants you to dwell in his Love forever, and this is truly good for us! And he actively leads us the way that we should go, to have Eternal and Everlasting Life. Go glorify the Lord with your life, don't worry about anything but pray about everything, and just know that God works everything in your life for a good and Holy purpose, the purpose being for your own good, your own salvation, and your entrance into God's Love and Life for all Eternity. Submit to God, and he will lead you to Everlasting Life, here on earth, and in the next life. Amen.
