The Bullet of Destruction of Worry: Victory Over Circumstances
The majority of people who are chronic worriers make the ridiculous mistake of waiting in agony until the circumstances engulfing them change. This will never work. You must change the circumstances or change yourself to conquer the circumstances.
We will always have circumstances or, as the Latin puts it, “things that stand (stances) around (circa)!” A man is a fool to be “under” the circumstances when he can be “on top” of them. Our Lord was overwhelmed with tragic circumstances but not a single one conquered Him! He promises us the same kind of experience if our mind is not divided but set on life’s one great priority … the Kingdom of God! (Matthew 6:25-33).
Happiness is not a state of becoming. It is a state of being! You don’t acquire happiness. You assume it!! God loves me!! In Jesus Christ He offers me His kind of life. All of His riches … power, love, peace, joy, forgiveness … are mine … if I listen to Him and obey Him! The greatest discovery a person ever makes is when he begins assuming that Jesus Christ is right. Obedience to God’s commandments will revolutionize your life! His power to obey is available to anyone who asks Him. Have you ever asked Christ to be your Savior and Master? His Lordship is God’s cure for the divided mind!
