Fear’s extravagance? It’s been said, “Worry is wasting today's time to clutter up tomorrow's opportunities with yesterday's troubles.” That’s so true. Yet, we tend to ignore the truth when it’s convenient.
Think about it. Worry is a bully. When we make it our intent to grab it by the throat and shake it loose from our life we might just be borrowing a bit of trouble we don’t need to own.
God’s Word tells us: “And she added, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age” (Genesis 21:7).
Worry is fear's extravagance. It extracts interest on trouble before it comes due. It constantly drains the energy God gives us to face daily problems and to fulfill our many responsibilities. It is therefore a sinful waste. The next time you find yourself on the doorstep of worry remember that old and very wise saying, “Let sleeping dogs lie.” It’s best not to disturb something that is likely to bite. Be content with the trouble and be thankful.
“I pray today in Jesus name that when this life becomes complicated things happen to us that we can’t explain and have a hard time coping with, we opt to live a humble life of faith over an extravagant one of worry. Amen!”
“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own” (Matthew 6:34) www.thispassingday.com
