The Effectiveness of a Worry Free Life

Think of what it would be like to live in a world where there were no worries! Peace would be everywhere, for example doors could be kept open without the fear of people entering in uninvited, job security would not be an issue because one would always be financially secure, there would be no need to fear death because protection would always be close. The reality is we live in an imperfect world where a worry free live does not take the place of wisdom, but an effective worry free life is possible "because" of wisdom. In John 16:33 Jesus declared in the world you shall have tribulation but be of good cheer for I have overcome the world.

Notice Jesus does not deny the possibilities for worry because we live in a troubled world, but the more wise and effective way is to trust him in every situation to work all things together for good (Romans 8:28). He says be of good cheer which means a cheerful joyful attitude should take the place of a worry because of what he accomplished in this same world. Jesus life was filled with trouble but he did not worry but simply trusted His Father and he was effective in everything that he did. Well of course that's because he is Jesus one might say, But believers have also been admonished not to worry.

Philippians 4:6-7
⁶ Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
⁷ And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Matthew 6:34
 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

John 14:14
 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. ... And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also ...
Notice in each case the believer has been commanded to not worry and God would never issue a command without his ability to carry it out because it would be unjust. Yes even though this is easier said than done, but we can strive for and have an Effective worry free life!
