Who’s Your Master? Trusting God Over Worry

In Matthew 6:24–34, Jesus draws a sharp line:

“You cannot serve both God and money.”

Let’s be clear—Jesus isn’t just talking about finances. He’s talking about your focus. Your loyalty. Your heart. You will be devoted to one thing and despise the other. So which one is it—God or worry? Faith or fear?

“That’s why I tell you not to worry about everyday life.”

—Matthew 6:25

God doesn’t need your money. But He doesn’t want your life ruled by worry.

Worry Isn’t Harmless

Jesus asks a tough question in verse 27:

“Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?”

The answer? A resounding no.

In fact, worry and anxiety often do the opposite. They steal your peace. They exhaust your mind. And in today’s culture, the world offers a counterfeit cure: marijuana, escape, numbing out. But new research is confirming what God’s Word has always said—these quick fixes don’t fix a thing.

Despite what culture has promised, marijuana doesn’t bring peace. It actually increases anxiety and damages the brain’s memory and emotional regulation. The enemy will use anything—drugs, distractions, consumption—to dull your mind and distance you from God.

Don’t let the world choose your god.

Living Like There’s No God

When we’re consumed with the future, we start living as if God can’t or won’t intervene.

As if He doesn’t know. As if He doesn’t care.

But He does.

“Your heavenly Father already knows all your needs.”

—Matthew 6:32

Worry dominates the thoughts of unbelievers. So when we let worry take the wheel, we start living like God isn’t in control.

That’s why Jesus calls us back—back to trust, back to faith, back to Him.

So What Should We Do?

If Jesus tells us not to worry about what we’ll eat, drink, or wear…

What should we do while we wait for God to show up?

We shift our focus.

We live as though God: Knows exactly what we need, cares deeply about our life,

and acts in ways we can’t always see. That kind of belief leads to peace—not the kind the world offers, but the kind that lasts.

When you truly believe God knows and cares, you can trust Him with all of it.

Not just your Sunday mornings. Not just the big decisions. All of it.

Because when God is your foundation, your life becomes:

Steady

Dependable

Peace-filled

Free from fear

Let This Be Your Shift:

From stuff-centered to God-centered.

From “God, sit and stay until I need You”

to

“God, walk with me through every part of this.”

Let go of the worry.

And live like you know your Father is already on it.
