what we fear doesn’t occur. Worry is ultimately irrelevant, especially since it seldom brings
forth any positive action on our part. Worry is irrelevant for a follower of Christ, because it
also undermines one’s trust in God & God’s ability to “to do all things well”. We either believe
God is able, willing & desires only the best for us OR we don’t believe God is able, willing &
desires the best for us!
Our responsibility in tearing down our walls of fear – that enshrine us in not only worrisome
living, but also a weakened future – is to take the next right step toward a greater faith in
Christ & a greater willingness to believe that God, indeed seeks the best for us – regardless
of where we come from, what we’ve done (or not done) & who we are. Our present day help
from God comes most powerfully in our consistent commitment to “seek God & God’s will
above all else”.
If Jesus’ life & death teach us nothing else, it needs to teach us that Jesus’ peace of mind &
daily living came – not from an easy life – but from a life wholly committed & surrendered to
the will of God. May each of us, this final Sunday of Lent find our quiet, spiritual center &
dare to surrender our lives to God!
