Are people worried about stuff? You betcha! What's the concern? Unless you've been living under a rock, the concern for much of the planet would be the economy.
As we're approaching Thanksgiving and Christmas, we are keenly reminded that hope has come into the world. Hope that rises above every worry, every world economic problem, every national crisis, and certainly our seemingly small personal worlds.
Christ wasn't a solution. He is our salvation. The explosion of the church 2000 years after his resurrection, through 12 men and a 13th who was blinded and changed forever, became the testimony that real change happens only through a relationship with Christ. This is so because Christ is the bridge that allows us to go from focusing on what seems to be the most important issue, to zeroing in on what really has been the central need of us all: the fixing of a person that never measured up to God.
So why worry? Jesus spoke that the lilies of the field had no worry of what to wear. He knows our need. He knows every hair on our head is numbered. Encourage others that the Great Provider hasn't changed. He still owns it all. Amazing how we fret so.
Luke 12:25 "And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? 26 If then you are not able to do as small a thing as that, why are you anxious about the rest?"
