Dear Young Christian: A Christian farmer near my home had this thought-provoking message on a large billboard near the road in one of his fields: Worry is a misuse of imagination! It reminded me of the ladies on the resurrection morning as they hurried to the tomb of the Lord. The Bible tells us the subject of their conversation: “And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?” (Mark 16:3). However, they needn’t have worried, as the difficulty they thought was going to present itself was already taken care of. “When they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great” (Mark 16:4). In other words, they imagined a difficulty, which led to unnecessary worry. Aren’t we often like that? I know I am. I worry about things that I think are going to happen in the future, and when the time comes, I find that the situation I anticipated never develops, and, even if it does, the Lord is able and sufficient for it. Your Christian Friend, Jim Hyland We would love to hear from you. Send your comments and questions to jhyland1959@gmail.com |
