When you stumble—which you will—it’s not fatal. Instead of giving in or giving up, look up to God, expect him to help you, and remember the reward that is waiting for you: “When people are tempted and still continue strong, they should be happy. After they have proved their faith, God will reward them with life forever."
Why should we not worry about life? Because God is our Father. He created us. He has given us everything we’ll ever need. He takes care of the birds of the air and the flowers of the field, and He will take care of you.
Our lives are driven by clocks and calendars. We work in office buildings that are ulcer alleys. We drive in traffic jams that would make Job curse. Our cities have become asphalt jungles dominated by savages. Our homes are protected from those savages with burglar bars and alarms, deadbolts, and Dobermans. Many homeowners keep guns that are cocked and loaded.
This is a stressed-out society. We are filled with worry, anxiety, and tension. It is the disease of the age.
Much of our stress we create ourselves. Mothers create stress when they worry about their children—what they’re doing, what they’re not doing, what they’re learning, what they’re not learning. There’s not one marriage that’s not suffering from some degree of stress. There are businessmen living on the naked edge because stress has you by the throat. You’ve done everything you know to do in order to survive, yet your business is falling through your hands like fine sand.
The word of God is the manufacturer’s manual for your heart, soul, mind, and body. If you live according to its principles, there is never a reason for your life, your marriage, or your business to be dominated by stress. Today, tomorrow and forever, He has the answer. Before you ever knew you had the need, God made the provision. He is the answer for your life, and He’s the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.
