The First “Don’t Worry Club”
D. L. Moody

Mrs. Sangster says that we hear a good deal, as if it were a novelty, about the futility of being anxious.  People have established “Don’t Worry Clubs.”  The first “Don’t Worry Club” was begun by our blessed Lord Himself when He said, “Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on.  Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?” Matthew 6:25

He bade us consider the lilies growing in their beauty and purity without a thought, and taught us the true way of living without care, without solicitude, bearing all burdens lightly, and having continual joy on our faces.  Only those who have the indwelling Christ in their hearts can walk through this world with bright and glad looks because they know that, let come what may, their Father will lead them safely.
“And why take ye thought for raiment?  Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: 29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.  30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?” Mat.  6:28-30 

“But God”
Edited from Pearls, Points, and Parables, F. E. Marsh, 1908

Two significant words in the Bible often indicate that things will not turn out as one expects; there will be a change.  Those hopeful words are, “But God.”

When we leave God out of our reckoning, difficulties will daunt us, temptations will triumph over us, sin will seduce us, self will sway us, the world will warp us, seeming impossibilities will irritate us, and unbelief will undermine our faith.  Christian work will worry us, fear will frighten us, and all things will wear a somber hue.

When God is recognized as the One who undertakes for us, then difficulties are opportunities to trust Him, temptations are the harbingers of victory, sin has no attraction, self is denied, unbelief is ignored, service is a delight, contentment sings in the heart, and all things are possible!  God’s involvement can change anything.
