I was always told not to worry.

As a kid, I was a natural worrier. When I couldn’t figure things I usually resorted to worrying.

Is there ever a good time to worry? Does worry accomplish anything good or worthwhile? It always has the promise something productive but it never produces good fruit. Abandon it! It is an utter waste of time. Instead, exert the faith God provides – a much stronger response to the unknown than the “w” word.

  1. What is the difference between wise preparation and worry? Did the man who built his house on a rock do so because he worried that building it on any other ground might lead to its downfall? Did the five wise virgins stay awake and maintain their lamps because they worried they might otherwise miss the bridegroom?

  2. I figure worry is fear plus concern. Its good to be concerned but need to remove the fear. Build your house on solid rock because you are concerned, not fearful.
