I was reading a note from my friend John who reminded me that "worry is a distraction." Yes it sure is. Most of what we worry about, never comes to fruition. Most of what we worry about will be forgotten soon.
Even if we worry, we cannot fix a thing by it. Jesus made that clear:
Mt. 6 25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?
Every moment that we worry is a moment that we cannot be kind and gracious to another. Every moment that we lose to worry, we can never gain back. Worry is a diversion. It keeps us off mission. It makes sure that we are focused on our loss instead of reaching back to the world with love.
Don't waste your time with worry. Instead, engage positively with life.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
