Luke 12:25
And which of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life's
span?
In the depths of every person's soul, in the secret chambers where no one
else knows the thoughts, we are usually able to find a worry or two or
three. Even in the hearts of those who are laughing and smiling.
We worry about death--our own or that of a loved one. We worry about
disobedience and sin, about feelings of guilt. We worry about daily
problems--people problems, decision problems, problems related to work,
home, relationships, finances, school...you name it, we worry about it.
One of the problems with worry is that it keeps you from enjoying what you
have. When you worry about what you don't have, you won't be able to enjoy
what you do have. That's what Jesus was talking about in Matthew 6:25: "I
say to you, do not be anxious for your life, as to what you shall eat, or
what you shall drink..." Worry is assuming responsibilities that you cannot
handle. The truth is, they are responsibilities that God never intended for
you to handle, because they are His.
