Peace Blue  v36 Ch 5 Matt

Believe (2 Cor 5:7) what you can't prove and the proof will come- it will show up as peace (Ep 2:14).

When things begin happening, and who knows why? It's not always easy to remember that we are stars in God's Hands and that He calls us by name (Ps 147:4).  It doesn't seem important when worry is stealing the peace (the manifestation of love), though an irony, since unfailing love is what we're really seeking, afraid of losing, and why worry is getting away with stealing peace to begin with.  Jesus said "do not worry" (Matt 6:34), but how?  When the situation is not promising something better at the moment...

It seems helpful to reason because believing in what Jesus says to do is easy, acting on what He says is challenging because i believe He is good and is Truth but don't always believe i'm good and always act in His Truth so sometimes it helps when given a "reason" that will strengthen me to act on what Jesus said to do.  So take worry for instance.  When a situation is making me want to worry and it's difficult to stop just because Jesus said not to, then in the word will also be some strong argument or reasoning that will help me embrace Truth until i'm strong enough to act on it.  It's almost like talking yourself into it because on one hand you believe but on the other you're struggling (Mk 9:24) because the lack of security and proof that everything will work out alright.  When in this state of believing but also unbelieving (Ep 4:14), we haven't really made a quality decision yet and this compromise will cause us to gain absolutely nothing that we want.  Yes must be Yes.  No must be No (Matt5:37).  No mixing answers.

To fight worry 1st realize it's bigger than you.  So right off the bat you've lost.  How do you know you lost?  Did you want to worry?  Are you enjoying it?  If you really had the power would you stop right now?  That's how you know.  So you believe in Christ Jesus who said not to worry but it's not working.  So let's talk ourselves into a quality decision (of yes i will worry or no i won't- period, no mixing) and let's obtain this decision by  "faith" without the need for proof (Heb 11:1) and let's convince ourself (Heb 11:6) that Someone bigger than us (Christ) is working behind the scene on our problem being solved (Matt 6:31).

Reasoning Argument:  I can't make one hair on my head white or black (Mt 5:36), i'm powerless, can't solve my own problem but want to.  Miserable by all the worry and fear.  But God is All-Powerful and He is using my hair as an analogy..... hmm?  Let's study hair and find something convincing about it to put my belief fully in Him instead of in my problem...  Let's be amazed by how or what He did with hair that will help me worship since the voice of worship will silence the voice of worry and fear.  Let's put my focus back on HIM.  Because that is the Challenge. 

It helps transmit sensory information and creates gender identity.  COOL.  Who would have guessed my hair could do all that.
 
The hair shaft is made up of dead, hard protein called keratin in 3 layers.
inner layer - medulla (may not be present)
next layer - cortex
outer layer - cuticle

The cortex makes up the majority of the hair shaft.  Pigment cells are distributed throughout the cortex and medulla giving the hair its characteristic color.

It is also the only body structure that is completely renewable without scarring... Really, interesting!  God must have done that for a GOOD reason...

A developing fetus has all of it's hair follicles formed by week 22, there's 5 million follicles on the body at this time.  God doesn't miss a thing, everything means something, every detail:  22=the Light manifesting - the Grace=5... must be a unique reason why long hair is the crown of glory for a woman (1 Cor 11:15) and the (wise) silver-haired head is a crown of glory (Pro 16:31).  Not being able to change my hair black or white while seeing from hair how God spent much time with it's purpose is starting to convince me how He took a lot of time just to make me unique.  Surley He wouldn't want me to worry just so He can give a command that proves His Authority when He said, "Do Not Worry" cause I'm God and here's your choice, either do what i say or suffer!  Whatever!  He would have to admit that His own "Yes" doesn't mean "Yes" and His own "No" doesn't mean "No."  That's harder to believe than the fact that He doesn't want me to worry.  He must have meant exactly what He said, 'Don't Worry' period.  Why am i doubting He has a good story at the end of this tunnel anyway?  Why don't i think He has a good story for me right now?  Why am i yielding to worry when God is on my side!  He made my hair be able to do all this stuff- calculate information, carry messages, tell if i'm boy or girl... that's a lot of work just for hair, the rest of me is much more complex in its systems and functions, He must love the rest of me too so why would He want me to worry... makes no sense! 

Make my Yes mean, "Yes, i will not worry," and "No, I will not worry."  My yes means yes and my no means no and they are saying the same thing.    Ah, Peace in Unity~
