Luke 12:25-26 ” Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?”

In His teaching about anxiety, Jesus was very blunt…worrying cannot make even a negligible change on our lifespan. And if we have absolutely no control over that, how do we think we have power over anything else? The answer is, we don’t…and the only thing anxiety shows is faltering faith on our part. Jesus goes on to prove His point by reminding us of this…eternal life itself is more important than what sustains it…that God promises to take care of His own…that anxiety accomplishes nothing…and that we already have a share in the inexhaustible riches of the Kingdom of Heaven – so why worry about temporal details? Finally, that we must prioritize and focus ourselves on what’s eternally important, exerting a confident, bold, & unwavering faith.
