“Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow.  It empties today of its strength.”  (Corrie Ten Boom)

Have you ever worried about something and it never happened?  I have.  All that energy wasted for nothing.  One can’t help but worry when the storms of life engulf them.  Yet Jesus said to trust Him and have faith.  I think of John the Baptist, the forerunner of Jesus, when everything was fine in his world, he loudly proclaimed Jesus was the Son of God, who taketh away the sins of the world, but when John was sitting in a dismal and dark dungeon waiting to be executed, he sent his disciples out to find Jesus and ask Him if He was the Son of God or if they should look elsewhere.  Jesus told John’s disciples to go back and tell John that dead are being raised, sick are being healed and the Kingdom of God is being proclaimed throughout the region.  ‘Faith, unseen faith’.  Hope that Jesus is in control and all will be well is indeed difficult to believe as John, the disciples, and you and me will experience through life.  But our hope must be in Jesus, our Redeemer, and His promises.
