A man and wife were traveling to see some old
friends. The last time they went to see them they had to drive over an old,
rickety bridge. The wife said, “What are we going to do when we get to the
bridge? We can’t drive over it. It’s unsafe.”
The husband said, “But there’s no other way
to get across the river. What if it collapses? What if we drown? Who will raise
our kids?”
For the next hour they worried about how they would cross the bridge. When they arrived at the river, the old
bridge had been torn down and replaced with a new one! They had needlessly
tormented themselves about a problem that had already been solved.
When Mary and the other women were walking to
the tomb where Jesus had been buried, they worried about how they could move
the stone. Like the couple fretting about the rickety bridge, they asked
themselves, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance of the
tomb?” (Mark 16:3). When they got there, the stone had already been rolled
away. All their worrying was in vain because God had already taken care of the problem.
Worry comes from meditating on your
problems instead of God’s Word. God knows where you’re going and when
you’ll arrive. If you’ve surrendered your life to the Lord, your future is in
His hands. The same God who moved the stone for the women will also take care
of the future situations that worry you. Instead of fretting, keep trusting God,
and cross that bridge when you come to it. www.makinglifecount.net www.kentcrockett.blogspot.com
