Reason 3
“Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?” - Matthew 6:27 NLT
“Worry is more likely to shorten life than to prolong it, and ultimately such matters are in God's hands. To trust him should be enough.” [Expositor's Bible Commentary (Abridged Edition): New Testament; Copyright 2004.]
This verse shines a light on the futility of worrying. Nothing positive comes out of worrying. Worrying is akin to being concerned and it is only natural to be concerned about certain areas of our life that have been cause for tension and stress. If unchecked it can lead to anxiety and that is never a good thing. The way you can prolong your life is to eat healthy, exercise, and digest God’s Word as a means of stabilizing your conscience and sub-conscience mind.
There is too much negativity in this world, coming from people who have other ideas regarding what is wrong and what is right. Don’t agree with them and they are loaded for bear and ready to cut you down verbally. That does not even remotely resemble the Golden Rule now does it? Some say Christians are liars, hypocrites, racist, white supremist, and that is without even knowing us. That causes stress. Living a peaceful life almost doesn’t even seem possible anymore. However, if we live by God’s principles in the long run we will be able to negotiate the treacherous terrain that surrounds you.
NOTHING can add years or for that matter, even seconds to your life. NOTHING. But your life will end up being far more pleasant if we remain positive in the face of chaos and hold on tightly to our faith. The Lord has and will never let any of us down. Until next time, walk with the King and be a blessing.
In His Name & for His Glory,
