Worry Is Atheism – Daily Wisdom

Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1957 of our trek, and it’s time to explore another nugget of wisdom, which includes an inspirational quote and some wise words from Gramps for today’s trek. Wisdom is the final frontier in gaining true knowledge. So we are on a daily trek to create a legacy of wisdom, seek out discernment and insights, and boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend; this is Gramps. Thanks for coming along on today’s trek as we increase wisdom and create a living legacy. Proverbs 16:16 says, "How much better to get wisdom than gold, and sound judgment than silver!" If you apply the words you hear today, over time, it will help you become more healthy, wealthy, and wise as you continue your daily trek of life. So let’s jump right in with today’s nugget. Today’s quote is from Bishop Fulton Sheen, and it is, "All worry is atheism, because it is want of trust of God."

Worry Is Atheism

Let’s acknowledge that we all worry about people or situations we face. We worry about those things which we have no control over. Some people enjoy worrying because it becomes their sense of purpose in life. We must understand, though, that when we worry it is because we lack faith that God has everything under His control. Therefore, if we lack faith, it is against what God desires for us, which is atheism. As Christ-followers, we don’t think of ourselves as atheists, but a lack of trust and faith and subsequently worry reveals that, at least in some areas of life, we are antithetical to God. While it may be impossible never to worry, since we are created beings, we should work toward minimizing any such worry in our lives. If God is the God of all creation, including us as His imagers, then worry should not preoccupy any space in our lives. Matthew 6:25-34 That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing?  Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are? Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith? So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.
