Here is the dictionary definition of worry: Disturbance of the mind regarding some uncertain event. Psychiatry says it is a tense emotional state characterized by fear and apprehension without apparent cause.
Everyone has either a mild, moderate or severe case of it. Most try to relieve it with activity or drugs, and sometimes both.
This malady was addressed two thousand years ago in Matthew:
Matthew 6:25
“Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?
The question presented here is: What about your life? Your life is much more involved than just eating and drinking. The situation of birds is presented as a comfort. Check out this verse:
Matthew 6:26
Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
The birds use natural stimulation to go out every day and find what is available. We have more value than birds, although we can be “foul” sometimes. All we need to do is go out every day and see what God has in store for us. We should take advantage of the environment He has placed us in.
Said the Robin to the Sparrow,
“I should really like to know
Why these anxious human beings
Rush about and hurry 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.”
Give it some thought.
