If, you are a regular reader of my blogs you, might have
observed a pause for few days. I, was going to travel a long 8hour journey
after a long time and that to alone. Even, though I was excited to go, but
frankly speaking that day, I had butterflies in my stomach and goose bump on my
flesh which, no one could notice. As, the plane left the runway I started
recalling all the memory verses which I knew but, to erase of my worries
with an eraser 'not from the paper' but from my mind was rather a difficult
thing. All the promise verses kept on flashing my mind, Is 41:10 " So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed,
for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with
my righteous right hand". By the mighty grace of heavenly Father, I
reached safely with God's angels everywhere to help me in each step of mine. I
still don't know the reason behind my worry. May be, I have to trust him more
and have full faith, by having an unwavering faith.
Said the
Robin to the Sparrow:
" I should
really like to know
Why these
anxious human beings
Rush about
and worry so ?"
Said the
Sparrow to the Robin:
"
Friend, I think that it must be
That they
have no Heavenly Father
Such as cares
for you and me."
By Elizabeth Cheney.
Next day in my sister's
house, after a heavy breakfast, and after last days long journey, I reclined on
my chair and put on the music, when the beautiful song " Jesus takes my
burdens away" of Carroll Roberson" made a beat in my heart. When I
was just lost in the lyrics, that I overheard, two birds in a nearby window they
were discussing several issues with each other, to which their main highlights
were regarding," Why do the people on earth have so many problems
and keep on worrying all the time "? May be they don't have Heavenly
Father, to care about as the care we, 'get from our Father'. I really felt
shame on myself, after hearing them.
Life is full of many
concerns, from the biggest to the smallest. We worry about job, our boss,
co-workers, about our depleting finances, about our unsupportive friends,
sickness and the list goes on. Worry, can only cause problems from outside of
our body to inside, rather it can shorten our life ,but won't add even a single
minute in our life. It is so well said in the scriptures in Phil 4:6 "Do not be anxious about anything, but
in every situation by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, present your
requests to God. Friends, we all may have worries but, if you focus on the
right thing, God will take care of everything you need. I learnt one thing,
from this small incident not to worry but; first of all to go near to God,
focus on Him open up with Him, spend time with Him in prayer, asking Him
to display His glory through you as you learn to overcome anxiety and pursue peace
within. It's only through His help that, slowly you will see
the grip of fear, helplessness, concerns being drifted away with; God's love
and His presence. Always, remember God is much much bigger than your problems;
that is why in the bible He has written 365
times 'Do not worry'. Not for one
day but everyday He tells you 'Don't
worry' my child I am with you.
"Worrying is carrying tomorrow's load with
today's strength- carrying two days at once. It is moving into tomorrow ahead
of time. Worrying doesn't empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its
strength.”
