The days of our life are seventy years, or perhaps eighty, if we are strong; even then their span is only toil and trouble; they are soon gone, and we fly away.

Psalm 90:10

Why Worry?

Why should we worry about old age when we’re going to live forever? Although our lifespan on earth is brief, while here, most of us do worry. Mostly we don’t want our loved ones to have to take care of us. I’m so guilty. As the hymn says, Heaven is a land where we’ll never grow old. Even after the first 10,000 years we’ll only have just begun to sing God’s praises. Heaven is a land where we’ll never be departed from loved ones.

Here are seven (the perfect number) things we can do to help us turn away from worry:

Refocus!
Restart!
Readjust!
Reset!
Re-clarify!
Re-tune!
Realign!

Dear Heavenly Father, fill us with life anew so that we may love the way you love, and do what you would do always.
