Study 6B THE CONQUEST OF WORRY
Key Verse: ““Who are you that you fear mortal men……that you live in constant terror every day……because of the wrath of the oppressor?”” (Isaiah 51:12-13)
2 . WHY IS IT FOOLISH FOR A CHRISTIAN TO WORRY?
It is foolish to worry when we consider that the thing we are worrying about may never happen. But supposing it does happen? What then? It is still foolish, for the following reasons:
1. It is foolish because we gain absolutely nothing by worrying. Can you think of any possible gain? Of course, if in the goodness of God we have sought and found deliverance from worry, we are qualified to help others to seek and find similar deliverance, but apart from this reflex benefit there is absolutely no direct value in worrying at all.
2. It is foolish because if we have worried we are less ready to meet the experiences of life when they do come. We are less fortified to meet the crises of life if worry has already exhausted us, for it dissipates our moral, spiritual and physical energies. It is a fact that worry does more harm than the actual thing about which we are worrying. Look up 1 Kings 19:4.
3. It is foolish because whatever happens will only be with God’’s permission. Incidentally, never speak about “”Fate””, or ““Chance”” or use the expression ““Touch wood!”” This is pure superstition, which has no place in a Christian’s life. Whatever happens in the life of a Christian happens in the permissive will of God. Look up Psalm 42:7-8.
4. It is foolish because whatever happens will always be for our good. Look up Romans 8:28, and underline the word ““all”” in your Bible; remember that there is a blessing in every trouble that comes, and that all of us would be the poorer if we never knew what it was to experience any testing or trial.
5. It is foolish because even if the worst that we fear happens, God’’s grace will be sufficient. Look up 2 Corinthians 12:9. We worry because we have not sufficient grace to meet some dreaded trial, but the grace will only be given with the trial –- not beforehand!
6. It is foolish because the promises of God will never fail. Look up some of them: Psalms 9:10; 46:1; 73:23-24; Isaiah 43:2; Zephaniah 3:17; 2 Timothy 4:18; Hebrews 13:5-6.
7. It is foolish because nothing can ever happen to separate us from the love of Christ. What are you worrying about? Why are you anxious? Read Romans 8:35-39.
Look up Matthew 6:25-33.
