Don't Worry-Be Happy!!! 1/16/22
Job 3:25 (KJV)
25 For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.
I got/HAD the 'Rona, AKA Covid-19 AKA Omicron version!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And, THANK GOD, I got the MILD version!!!
The very thing that I and countless others have been stressing about for over two years now...................................................
And, YES, I was and am still deeply afraid of this terrible disease that has hurt and killed so many, many people globally.
Although OUR Bible definitely records over 300 times to “NOT FEAR” yet WE still FEAR the “what if's and what happens?” in each of our lives!!!
I absolutely LOVE the quote attributed to Mr. Mark Twain:
“I HAVE HAD A LOT OF TROUBLE IN MY LIFE BUT THANK GOD MOST OF IT NEVER HAPPENED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'
WE worry, FEAR, and stress over the “what if's and what happens” CONSTANTLY!!
As soon as one FEAR is relieved, another FEAR arises!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHAT DOES TOMORROW HOLD?????????????????????
Jesus wisely declared:
Matthew 6:34 (KJV)
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
WHY is it that WE cannot obey this simple TRUTH??????
WHY is it that WE doubt and FEAR even AFTER God alleviates the last FEAR????
That lump you surely felt, that cough you absolutely suffered with, that damning X-ray that filled your heart with fear, that threatening letter from the IRS, that crooked politician attempting to enact insane laws.................................
“MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING!!”
Jesus again addressed this futility:
Matthew 6:27 (KJV)
27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
I HATE discussing politics and things such as race and/or religion, or POLITICS!!
I have ONE mere vote among countless millions.
Everybody has an opinion-AMEN!!??
I like what I read last week:
“We all worry about other people's opinions rather than out OWN opinion!!”
Unlike the politicians, I give in/up!!
I have no clue as to how to stop this worldwide virus???
It seems the many vaccines are not arresting it, vitamins and healthy living do not arrest it, “faith” does not arrest it!!!
Perhaps it is exactly as, AGAIN, Jesus said it was and would be:
Matthew 5:45 (KJV)
45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
Or, as Solomon wrote:
Ecclesiastes 9:2 (KJV)
2 All things come alike to all: there is one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not: as is the good, so is the sinner; and he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath.
At the end of the day, or better yet at the break of day, may be HEED what Our Bible declares 331 times:
“FEAR NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
In closing, I was SHOCKED to discover that the English word “WORRY” is not even written in the entirety of our Bible-NOT ONE TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SO.............................
“DON'T WORRY-BE HAPPY!!!”
