WE KNOW

We are a society of anxious people

We’re anxious

Of the unknown

Of what we can’t control

We fear

Those we “offend”

Our own insecurities

This anxious society

Lives on pins and needles

In fear

Of one another

Of ourselves

The future?

Who knows?

We go to psychologists, therapists

To receive our

Validation

We are a society of anxious people

Including His people

Believers

Who know of the One

In control

Know of the One

Who forgives

Of the One

Steadfast, unmovable

The One

True Counselor

We know, yet…

We are a society of anxious people

Matthew 6: 31-34

So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

I Peter 3: 15,16

But in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame.
