* Luís Alberto Alves
Today we live in a world where worry is on our side. Everything is reason to think deeply of something and the heart to be heavy. We do so in relation to work, school, family, church, health, professional future, woman, children, relatives, friends and even with the destiny of our country.
When we get up in the morning instead of thanking Jesus Christ for another day of life and having agreed for one day, we already think about the service that awaits us at the place where we work or even the teacher who will give the first lesson to the class .
In traffic, the same situation repeats itself. Standing in the congestion or even waiting for the light to open, everything is suspect. Even there, worry rattles our minds. We thought of everything, even if that car broke down in the middle of that bottled traffic. How we would act until we got the tow truck to get the car and take it to the garage.
Sometimes the worry is so great that we can not sleep anymore. Soon the dark circles appear in the face, denouncing the nights in which the sleep was not full. We even ignore faith in Jesus Christ. We think that the Lord will forget his promises and leave us forgotten.
It is at this time that we do not remember the Words of Jesus Christ, recorded in the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 6, verse 42: "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its care; His own evil suffices for the day. " Jesus is categorical in emphasizing that we should not be concerned about what might happen in the future. We just need to look at today.
But the human being is restless by nature. When he was taken out of Egypt, even as he passed through the Red Sea, which he opened before them, he proceeded to charge Moses. Deep down they did not believe that God would take them to the Promised Land. They imagined that the Lord is irresponsible and does not fulfill what he speaks.
