Worrying Is A Choice
Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? Matthew 6:27
Many Christians are used to Jesus’ rhetorical question, “Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?” But not many of us actually let it get into our hearts and allow the love of God to free us from our habit of worrying- mostly over things that can be solved.
The truth is, no amount of worrying can fix your problems or add a year to your lifespan. Instead, it robs you of sleep, health and many other good things in life. In fact, it is only when you are worry-free that God’s anointing flows freely in you, strengthening, healing, restoring and adding to you. Keeping your eyes on Jesus is the secret to living a worry free life.
Worrying is a choice. You can decide to rid yourself of it or allow it to keep you from reaching your potential. You may not be able to stop the problems from coming or the situation from occurring but you can surely decide on whether to worry about the problem (note: worrying does not bring solutions) or try to find a solution.
Beloved, when you worry, you are actually believing that the devil has the power to make inroads into your life that God cannot protect you from. Anytime you worry, you are believing in a lie but when you refuse to worry, you are putting your faith in God. You have more confidence in His love and power working for you than in the devil’s ability to harm you! When you refuse to worry, but choose to rest in the finished work of Christ, you will see the manifestation of your blessing. You will see your miracle!
