Did you know that about 90% of the things you worry about do not happen anyway? Which statistically speaking, it means that worry is good for you. You can worry about many things and they won't happen. Isn't that great?
I often worry that with all the windmills, (wind turbines), we have in the world one of these days the whole planet will take off and fly in any direction it wants. But a scientist I know tells me I'm worrying unduly. What do you think?
My medic friend tells me that worrying does a lot of bad things to you both physically internally and mentally. People can become paranoid about it apparently. I asked the librarian if she had a book about paranoia and she said, "It's behind you!" That gave me quite a fright, I tell you.
But let's get back to worrying. What does it mean spiritually?
Simply put, it means you do not trust in God.
Jesus said, "Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me." John 14:1
Worrying means that to you, Jesus is a liar.
I'll go as far as saying that worrying is a sin.
Never mind what worry does to you medically speaking. Consider for a moment what it does to your eternity!
Did you know that the words "Fear not" or other variations like "Do not be afraid" appear over 300 times in the Bible - at least once for every day of the year.
Makes you think, doesn't it?
