[Ohio-Communities-of-Faith] God Made You For More by Max Lucado

[Maggie Stringer]

The anxious heart says, “There’s trouble out there!” So you don’t sleep
well. You don’t laugh often. Misfortune lurks; it’s just a matter of
time. As a result, you’re anxious. How can this be? Our cars are safer than
ever. We regulate food and water and electricity. Yet if worry were an
Olympic event, we’d win the gold medal!

Well keep in mind anxiety is not a sin; it’s an emotion. It can, however,
lead to sinful behavior. When we numb our fears with six-packs or food
binges, when we peddle our fears to anyone who’ll buy them, we’re sinning.

Jesus gave this word: “Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down
with…the anxieties of life” (Luke 21:34 NIV). God made you for more than a
life of angst and mind-splitting worry. He has a new chapter for your life.
And he is ready to write it!
