Luke 12: 22-26

22.  Then Jesus said to his disciples: "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. 23.  Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. 24. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! 25. Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? 26 Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?

If there is no need to worry about these things, then there is no need to worry about anything period ! There is no need to worry, as God has promised to supply all these needs and every need. Worry still breeds the self reliant attitude God wants out of us. We have got to realize it is all Jesus. Not say it, and amen it, and have a theological admiration for the verse "God will supply all your needs" but truly have it in our spirit as a walk of life, a communion with God, that will dispel all the fear doubt and unbelief and mistrust towards God that causes us to rely upon our own ingenuity, and upon MEN. God never told us to rely upon ourselves, for this is self righteousness, and unbelief, and he told us ‘cursed is the one who trusts in, or relies upon men’.

Jeremiah 17: 5

5 This is what the LORD says: "Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who depends on flesh for his strength and whose heart turns away from the LORD.

Cursed are those who run to Egypt's shade for help they will be disappointed. "Why?" God is not in it !

Isaiah 30: 2-3

2.. Who go down to Egypt without consulting me; who look for help to Pharaoh's protection, to Egypt's shade for refuge. 3 But Pharaoh's protection will be to your shame,

Egypt's shade will bring you disgrace.

This describes a people that are stubborn to follow the Lord, do die to their own ways and worldly desires. A people who look at the ways the world offers, and the world in the church. They take the solutions the world has for them, and mix it with what God says, and think this will be to their deliverance, their rescue. They do not consult the Lord, they listen to the spirit of the world, of this age. They seek refuge in the "shade" or comfort of the things that the world tells them will relieve their misery and pain, and instead of seeking God and believing and waiting on His promises, they take the short cut, they help God out. This brings as the scripture says, shame and disgrace. How? Because It does not work ! This path leads to compromise and fear of men and seeking their approval rather than God. This brings them to a state of confusion, and this always leads to disgrace and shame, once their pride is exposed.
