Hi, this is Joel and Victoria. Thanks so much for listening to the podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry.

We believe you're going to have an awesome 2024, healthy, productive, and favor-filled.

God bless you today and enjoy the message.

You know, life will always present things to worry about. We'll always have cares, we'll always have concerns. There'll be

things that try to trouble us. But we all know that when we worry about the cares of life

and the troubles of life, that they'll add no value to us. The scripture talks about that.

It says worry adds no value to your life.

I heard it said like this one time, worry is like sitting in a rocking chair.

You have something to do, but you get nowhere.

You just rock and rock and rock.

You're doing something, but it's not getting you anywhere.

Worry is not good for our life.

And it needs to be contained.

We need to learn to win the war over worry.

You know, worry does change one thing.

Worry changes your personality.

It makes you frustrated, suspicious, cranky, miserable.

Worry is not good for us.

It changes who we are, and it causes us to miss the beauty of the moment

and to be fruitful in our lives.

It literally chokes us spiritually.

Listen, do you remember when Jesus was at Mary and Martha's home?
