WWW.COM –JUST THINK ABOUT IT!

          Warning! This two-part column is not for everyone. If you are in charge of your life and you are not a committed Christian, stop reading and go watch TV or play with your computer. This is a hardcore, down the pipe, in your face column especially for born again believers. If you are not such a person and you keep reading, you do so at your own risk.

         I want to share a few thoughts on the subject of winning the war against worry. Sooner or later, if not continually, worry comes knocking on everybody’s door. Some people get up immediately and swing the door wide open with an in vitiation for worry to walk in, have a seat and stay awhile. Others have learned how to send worry away without even going to the door. Which one are you?

         Worry is a war. It is a battle of the mind. Worry is a solider from the enemy’s camp sent to destroy the peace and productivity our Creator intends for us to enjoy. Every time worry is allowed into our lives, we get ripped off of the Lord’s blessing.

         Every one of us has a list of things that has the potential of causing us great worry. We could worry about our finances, health, relationships, death and dying, yesterday, today, tomorrow... etc. The list is worrisomely long!

It is time for every Christian to wage war on worry. By a "Christian”, I mean a person who has repented of a lifestyle lived for self outside of God’s direction and a person who has given Christ full authority and lordship of their life. If you have not done this, this column is not for you. Stop reading! I warned you that this was hardcore Christianity.

For the Christian reading this, I want to preface what I am about to say by declaring something you already know. I do not have all the answers to all of life’s questions. I am not even clever enough to have all of life’s questions – much less the answers.. However, I see myself simply as one beggar showing another beggar where to find bread.  

OK! So, what do I mean by the title WWW.COM? WWW is an acronym for Winning Worry’s War. We can win the war over worry. We do not have to be prisoners of war held captive behind the barbed wire of worry and fear. Worry and fear are two sides of the same coin.. We can be set free and liberated to enjoy life the way God intended life to be lived.

Jesus said, "Let not your heart be troubled”. Again He said, "Be anxious for nothing”. Again, He wrote, "He has not given you the spirit of fear.” I think you get the drift of this.
