I’ve been finding myself uneasy with anxiety lately. It may be the ever increasing standard of living or the ever decreasing net pay on my paycheck; or maybe, it may just be the pressures of other people being projected against me that are causing it. Whatever it is, you feel it too– the anxiety mounting upon your lives like a mountain of garbage on the street corner on pickup day after the holiday. Anxiety is normal in life and there is nothing we can do about it. It comes and goes through cycles or seasons and all we can really do is ride out the cause of anxiety and keep moving on with our lives. But we can’t and we don’t. Then these anxieties which, when we’re not harping on them, are merely secondary become the primary objective of our lives. The real problem with that is that we don’t actually solve or tackle those anxieties, we just we boil, stew and simmer over situations, fears and worries while losing precious time in our lives. Jesus says about anxiety: “And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? If then you are not able to do as small a thing as that, why are you anxious about the rest?” (Luke 12:25-26 ESV) Makes sense doesn’t it? He continues to say that if we stop being so filed with anxiety and started acting on what’s really important in life– that is the will of God in your life, then all these peripheral anxieties will take care of themselves through the grace of God. Let’s not forget that today.
