Are you constantly anxious by the thought of the future?
It's one thing to simply "not fret," and it's an entirely different thing altogether to be unable to fret. This comes because of confidence in the Lord.
"Do not fret-- it only causes harm."
-Psalms 37:8
Oswald Chambers goes so far as to say that "worrying always results in sin." What does worrying imply, then?
It implies that we have an idea of what our lives should be, according to us, and if life doesn't end up that way, then our purpose, which has been founded on our own ambitions, is futile. Meaningless. Godless.
"But make up your mind not to worry beforehand how you will defend yourselves."
-Luke 21:14
God never worries. He never is anxious or frets that his perfect will won't come about, because he knows that the will of God is always good.
If we allow it, God's purpose for our lives WILL lead to peace of heart and mind, no matter what happens. What more could we be striving for?
