2 Timothy 1:7—For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
Fear Is Satan’s Trademark—And If You’re Living In Fear, You’re Not Dominated By The Prince Of Peace
Worry and stress are killing us. Worry is the mother of heart disease. Some doctors say that many forms of cancer are caused by the stressedout society in which we live. Worry is the mother of high blood pressure and ulcers.
Jesus said, “Don’t worry.” Worry has sent millions of people to their graves years before they were supposed to die…people who were supposed to have known the Prince of Peace. Jesus said not worry. “Take no thought for tomorrow. I have taken care of it. I will never leave you. I will never forsake you. Don’t worry.”
Worry is sin. Worry is faith in fear. God has not given us a spirit of fear.
What do we worry about? We worry about things we can’t change. Husbands worry about what their wives spend. They worry about what the government spends. We worry about being unfavorable compared with somebody else. The Bible says not to compare yourselves among yourselves. There will always be a better salesman, a better lawyer, a better doctor, and a better preacher. Be happy with where you are and who you are. God made you what you are—be glad with that.
Don’t worry about what you can’t change. Don’t worry about what you can change—just change it. If it’s bothering you, change it. But don’t worry, because it’s an absolute waste of time.
