A professor came to class one day with a
glass of water. Everyone thought it was going to be the usual “is it
half-filled or half-empty?” question thing. Suddenly the professor asked what
the weight of the glass of water was. People gave different answers, to which,
the professor said the weight would vary.
He went further to say that if he held the
glass of water for 1 minute, it would not be as heavy as much as if he held it
for 10 minutes. In order words, the longer he held the glass of water, the
heavier it would be. A whole lot of believers die prematurely because we hold
on to some things longer than we ought to. One of those things is worry. We
worry about everything and end up achieving nothing. Matt 6:27 says, “Which of
you by mere worrying can add one cubit unto his stature?”
Rom 1:28 says, “And even as they did not
like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind,
to do those things which are not convenient.” Worrying is inconvenient but the
moment we lack the knowledge of the word of God on the inside of us, it becomes
a career.
The amount of worry on the inside of you
will help fast track untimely death as a result of hypertension. As believers,
we ought to be filled with the word of God and not worry. Matt 4:4 says, “But
he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by
every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God,” and you know that Rom
10:17 says that, “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of
God,” and Heb 11:6 concludes it by saying, “But without faith it is impossible
to please him,” and not-pleasing God means no answer to any prayer which in
turn leads to worry.
So, get busy with the word of God and worry
will fade away.
