YOU CAN’T JUSTIFY WORRYING

So often we try to justify worrying. I know a man who said, "Don’t tell me worrying doesn’t do any good. Everything I worry about doesn’t happen."

One man defended his worrying by saying, "I find it helps to worry. The people who worry never get ulcers." And one person responded, "No, the problem is, they just give them to everybody else."

And I know a woman who is convinced that her worrying is biblical. She’s convinced that when Noah put two of every animal in the ark, his wife said, "Noah, I’d feel a lot better if those two termites were locked in a tin box."

Yet the Bible is clear, there is no way you can justify worry. Worry is a sin.
