Video Text:
The young man was a hero – the only one from the whole county who had ever graduated from college! After the big hometown celebration, his relatives gathered for some dessert at the family home and the mom stood for one more toast. She beamed, “Son we are so proud of you! Can you tell us something in college talk!” With a little urging all around, he finally stood and after everyone became silent, he blurted out, “Pie are square.”

Like a loud fart in crowded elevator, an uncle snickered and the room instantly burst into a torrent of laughter while the college boy wondered what was so funny. Finally, the uncle said, “Son – them boys from college been teaching you wrong…” He held up a pan of cake for everyone to see and quipped, everyone knows that pies aren’t square. You see – cake are square, and pie are round!”

I told this joke because I my son and daughter are opposites in math aptitude, but I really want to ask, why do I get anxious over struggles with math? But that is precisely the problem. I have gotten excited. I’ve already pushed math and caused angst inside our house – and all over what?

Jesus could not have been any clearer when he gently said, “Do not be anxious.” Mt6:25ESV Did you know that Jesus said these words in the midst of asking us if we are focused on things of this earth, or on heaven?

Yes – why on earth would I ever be anxious about the things of earth when they are so very temporary compared to eternity? To get a glimpse of how long eternity is, I want you to recall something from 20 years ago. Ready – can you see it? Hold old were you then? Could your mind instantly go back 20 years? Yes!! Instantly! That is how short our lives are compared to eternity.

“Do not be anxious.” Jesus must have said these words only because he loves us. He knows how little we are and how big we can make our worries. “Do not be anxious.”

No matter how anxious I might get about math, it won’t make it any easier. In fact, it only makes it more stressful and harder. For today, lets ask ourselves, “what are you anxious about? Anxious over what? Why? What good has your anxiousness produced?

My friends, if you’d like to be less anxious…. Have less worry and be more courageous – I’d love to recommend Max Lucado’s fantastic book, “Fearless.” You can put your fears and anxiousness away and live in God’s victory. Get this book and become fearless today.
