"You have decided the length of our lives.
You know how many months we will live, and we
are not given a minute longer." - Job 14:5
I've mentioned before that I have always been a worrier. Even as a child I would worry about everything. And guess what that did for me? Lots of pointless stress and lots of upset stomach issues. And for what?
I have friends who love going to the gym. So much so that they get a bit anxious if they can't manage to go every single day. They like to be fit, and that's not a bad thing. I have friends who are almost fanatical about their diet, that's okay. God has given us this ONE life on Earth, and that should reflect our love for Him.
So today, just two points:
1. Remember Jesus' words: "Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?" Matthew 6:27. Worry, anxiety and stress add not a single moment to your life, however they will suck all the joy out of living.
2. We need to take care of ourselves with rest, and learn to relish each moment we are given. Tell those you care about that you care. Show others that you love them. Hold no grudges. Forgive if you want to be forgiven. Love and encourage each other!
Think about it!
