Did you know that lack of worry reduces stress and increases long life? Yep, those who stress and worry all the time about politics, the virus, the vaccine, and everything else in life are more likely to experience serious health issues.
Jeremiah 17:6-8 ( the worried one) He will be like a shrub in the desert; he will not see when prosperity comes. He will dwell in the parched places of the desert, in a salt land where no one lives. 7 But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in Him. 8 He is like a tree planted by the waters that sends out its roots toward the stream. It does not fear when the heat comes, and its leaves are always green. It does not worry in a year of drought, nor does it cease to produce fruit.…"
Those who are continually speaking about the evils and ills of the world, worried about many things, are angry people, reducing their ability to fight off illness. Their immune system is compromised by worry and stress.
It makes no sense to worry and stress over things we have no control over. It makes even less sense to pretend everything is within our control. Did you know that very little is within our control because God is the One Who controls everything? Even the difficult things are under God's control.
What does make good sense according to the Bible is to place everything in God's hands and consult Him about everything all the time.
Psalm 40:4
"Blessed is the man who has made the LORD his trust, who has not turned to the proud, nor to those who lapse into falsehood."
