Jesus gave the most famous sermon in history on the mountain top. The best-known portions of the open-air sermon comprise the Beatitudes, found at the beginning of Matthew's Gospel. The sermon also contains the Lord's Prayer and the injunctions to "resist not evil" and "turn the other cheek." Also, there is Jesus' version of the Golden Rule. Other lines often quoted are the references to "salt of the Earth," "light of the world," and "judge not, lest ye be judged." It concludes with an admonition not only to hear Jesus' words, but to do them.
Jesus poses a intriguing question concerning worrying, "Who of you by worrying can add a single moment to his life?" Most of us worry from time to time about everything from who we are going to go out with on Friday night to what clothes you wear. Worrying can become very dangerous and trapping if you let it rule your life.
What do you worry about? Why is it hard or is it hard to believe that God is in control? How can you apply the saying "Don't Worry About It" to your life?
