Do not worry about tomorrow

Written by  Monday, 15 September 2014 00:00

I just read an Amharic sticker on a vehicle, “Do not worry for four days for a life that lasts only three days.” There could be hyperbole (overstatement) in the expression; but the grain of truth is obvious. If we make constant inventory of life, we have a load of reasons to be anxious about. The days pass worrisomely that calm living is eroded by the day. We worry a lot; so our present time looks wrinkled, devoid of smoothness & beauty. Jesus asked, “Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?” (Mt 6:27). If worrying has an effect, it is downward. It only shortens life. “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow.” Instead occupy yourself with the “care” of the Father.
