Instead of watching TV tonight I read to my husband (Paul's vision is poor) from a book I checked out of the church library this morning, "Clippings From My Notebook" by Corrie ten Boom. Corrie was quite the lady. She and her sister, Betsie were sent to a Nazi concentration camp during WWII for hiding Jews. Her sister died at the camp, but Corrie was released a short time later due to a clerical error. After her release she went all over the world teaching that God's love through Jesus Christ reaches into the most horrible places and holds us up.
Anyway, there was one chapter in this book that addressed the problem of anxiety and worry. This paragraph hit me between the eyes:
"We imagine that a little anxiety and worry are indications of how wise we are. We think we see the dangers of life clearly. In reality, however, our fears are only an indication of how wicked we really are.
As Charles G. Trumbull says,
'Worry is sin; a black, murderous, God-defying, Christ-rejecting sin; worry about anything at any time whatever. We will never know victory over worry and anxiety until we begin to treat it as sin. for such it is. It is a deep-seated distrust of the Father, who assures us again and again that even the falling sparrow is in His tender care.'"
Whoa. Hold on a minute; that seems pretty strong...until you think about it.
