“on the average day, we live caught up in ourselves. on the average day we don’t consider God very much. on the average day, we forget life is truly a vapor.” francis chan
we don’t trust God when we stress
james 4:13-14 “13 Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit”— 14 yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.”
see quote from Frederick Buechner page 42
Philippians 4:4–6 ESV
4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. 5 Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; 6 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
when we stress and worry: we say it’s okay to sin an not trust God.
