THE POWER OF WORRIES

-

Death was walking toward a city one morning, and a man asked,  "What are you going to do?" "I'm going to take 100 people, "death replied". "That's horrible!" the man said. " That's the way it is, "Death said. "That's what I do."

The man hurried to warn everyone he could about deaths plan. As evening fell, he met death again. "You told me you were going to take 100 people, the man said. "Why did 1000 die?" "I kept my word," death responded. " I only took 100 people. Worry took the others." -Author Unknown.

Ninety percent of our worries are unnecessary. Some of our needless worries are about our past, which we cannot change, our health, or things in the future that might never happen.

Worries do not generate solutions, but only more worries. It's like running on a treadmill for two hours and expecting to end at a different location. Worries drain our energy, and just like the treadmill, they take us nowhere.

Let's terminate useless worries. Let's set goals that will target what we are worrying about. Then follow through with actions. At the moment we start taking actions, we will stop worrying.

Some Quotes about Worries.

Worries do not empty tomorrow iof its sorrow; it empties today of its strength. -Corrie Ten Boom

Matthew 6:34: Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

Proverbs 3:5-6: Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

Philippians 4:6-7: Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Worry a little bit every day, and in a lifetime, you will lose a couple of years. -Source unknown.

The rich worry over their money, the poor over their bread.- Vietnamese Proverb.

Trying to solve our current situation by worrying is like extinguishing a fire by adding more wood to it, Ridiculous, isn't it?" -Andres Lara.

Keep winning with a worry-free mindset.

THE SOURCE OF JOY

Joy is a presence that remains steady even when nothing around you feels steady. Happiness depends on what happens; joy depends on Who you’re anchored in. When David wrote, “In Your presence is fullness of joy” (Psalm 16:11), he wasn’t describing a passing feeling. He was pointing us to a Person.  Joy Comes From Alignment, Not Achievement Sometimes we believe joy is a reward for reaching a certain level of success or spiritual maturity. But joy isn’t found at the finish line. It’s found in alignment- when your heart, your steps, and your purpose lean into God’s will. You can have a long to-do list and still experience joy. You can be in a season of pruning and still walk in joy. You can be waiting, trusting, hoping, and still carry joy. Why? Because joy is produced when your soul knows you are held. Joy Thrives Where Gratitude Lives Joy and gratitude are siblings. They flourish together. Gratitude keeps your eyes on what God is doing, not what seems delayed. It re-teaches...

WHAT'S TRENDING?

We are witnessing a season where old posts are resurfacing, and careers are shaking. Appointments are being reconsidered. Partnerships are being withdrawn. Public trust is being questioned. What changed? Time. Maturity changed. Context changed. Standards changed. But the digital footprint remained. The words you released into cyberspace were seeds. And seeds, whether good or bad, eventually grow. Some grow into influence. Others grow into consequences. A common defense is: “That post does not reflect who I truly am.” Fair enough. People grow. People evolve. We all have chapters we would rather not re-read. But if someone consistently posts degrading humor, insensitive commentary, reckless opinions, or harmful narratives over time, can it truly be dismissed as acting? At what point does repeated behavior become identity? Character is not what you claim in interviews. Character is the pattern of what you repeatedly practice. You cannot consistently publish darkness and expect peop...

WAITING WARS

After watching the movie "Waiting Wars" by Gloria Bamiloye, you find tthat there is the faith that makes noise and there is the faith that remains when the noise fades. The kind that survives unanswered questions. The kind that keeps showing up long after the excitement has worn off. The kind that does not collapse when feelings fluctuate. Because if we are honest, starting is not the hardest part of the journey. Sustaining is. Anyone can believe boldly when doors are opening. Anyone can testify when prayers are answered quickly. But what about when obedience stretches longer than expected? When clarity doesn’t come on schedule? When growth feels invisible? That is where lasting faith is formed.  Hebrews 11 speaks of those who endured, who ran their race with perseverance, who were described as steadfast, immovable, always abounding. That kind of faith is not manufactured in a moment. It is cultivated in ordinary days, in repetition, in surrender. Lasting faith is not built o...
