Why Worry?

“Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?” – Matthew 6:27

There is always something to be worried about. What to eat, what to wear, where to study, and tons of what, where, who, how, and even what ifs!

Life is becoming too complicated nowadays. With technology becoming so advanced, people are given a lot of choices in almost everything. Imagine going to the mall purposely to buy a deodorant. All you had in mind was to buy a bottle of deodorant. When you get there, you are confronted with more than five kinds of deodorant to choose from. (One with mela-whitener, another with moisturizer, one is non-alcoholic, so on and so forth). How much time does it take you to choose a bottle of deodorant?

The things of this world are causing us to worry and sometimes, they go unnoticed. If we are too conscious of very little things, what more with big concerns?

Our passage for today raises a question about worrying. “Can any of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?” There are so many reasons why one worry but does it matter?

In my previous post entitled “DEALING WITH ANXIETY”, worry is likened to anxiety, which is becoming one of the major mental health problems of the world.

The Bible tells us that in dealing with anxiety, we have to “cast all our anxieties to God because He cares for us.” – 1 Peter 5:7.

There is no better way to go on with life but to stop worrying and start trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ.

God bless!
