Why Worry?
Can any of you by worrying add
a single moment to your life-span? Mt 6:27
a single moment to your life-span? Mt 6:27
I
came across this scripture verse one
day a couple of weeks ago, and it seems very appropriate as we venture forth in
our lives. How much of our time is spent worrying? Worrying about finances,
getting a good grade or job performance review, or the health of a loved one?
When you ask people why they worry, often the response is so I can prepare for
the worst that can happen (which often does not happen!). Think of how much
energy is wasted preparing and worrying for things that do not happen! I am
fond of saying “worrying about the future ruins the present!” The answer to the
above question is a resounding NO!
Instead let us try to live in
the present. The eternal now. Do not let yourself be burdened by worry. When
you find worrying thoughts creeping into your mind give them over to Jesus and
let Him do your worrying for you. Put your worries and your life into His
hands. He will guide you in your journey. This passage from Philippians (4:6-7)
says it best:
