What Are You Worried About?
Hi this Steve and welcome back to another segment of Press On. This is called What are You Worried About?
I often think how much easier it would be if I were a kid again...I mean just think, very few responsibilities to worry about. Care free...right!
Wrong...I remember in elementary school standing next to my teacher when another teacher came up and asked “is he a worrier” and she responded “oh my gosh yes.”
The apostle Paul in a letter to the church in Phillipi writes this about worry in chapter 4. Philippians 4:6
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
I’m often confounded by this scripture and even those who quote it to me. “The Bible says you shouldn’t worry.” Yeah sure that just fixed it. Worry or anxiety seems inescapable so why does Paul write: “Do not be anxious about anything”...
Let’s be clear...this isn’t a call to a care free life...it’s a trust and distraction issue. The Greek word for worry means "to divide, to separate." It represents a mental state or condition in which someone is occupied with or is dwelling upon something. The use of this word is negative because it conveys the idea of distraction in occupying the attention of the mind.
Starting to get the picture? Let me put it this way...worry is allowing a negative and destructive thought often prompted by dark elements to live “rent free” in your head. Space in your head and your heart should not be up for grabs...its to be reserved for Christ. For years I have always gone back and read a very small publication called My Heart-Christ’s Home written by Robert Boyd Munger. It’s about inviting Christ to live in all the rooms of our heart (head).
There’s much more to this story but for today think about this
Ask yourself is worry occupying a space in your head and heart rent free that is reserved for the Lord? Start handing out eviction notices.

Red Pill or Blue Pill Part III: Abiding
20:59|Have you noticed how—especially here in the Western world—we crave simplicity and speed?“3 Easy Steps to Lose Weight.”“6 Secrets to a Happy Marriage.”“12 Steps to Financial Freedom.”We’re drawn to whatever promises quick results with minimal discomfort. But when it comes to the Kingdom of God—especially when it comes to seeing with spiritual eyes—it doesn’t work that way. There are no shortcuts. No life hacks. Because spiritual sight doesn’t come through information—it comes through transformation.It’s born in the presence of God. It grows through abiding. And it matures in those who linger with Him when others move on.Today, in Part III of Do You Want the Red Pill or the Blue Pill, Steve shares his personal journey into this kind of sight—not as a formula, but as a relationship. A life lived close to God, where clarity comes not through steps, but through staying.But let me say this—What you’ll hear today is more than reflection.It’s preparation. Because in Part IV, we’ll begin to explore why this kind of vision is so urgently needed. Why Jesus warned us about the Days of Noah...and why only those who truly abide will recognize what’s happening in our time.But for now, let’s begin where all true sight begins:In His presence.
