Many a times, when a person is worrysome, he is seldom happy. His constant thoughts are those revolving around those challenging issues that are yet to be resolved. His whole being is sucked into a whirl pool of negativity. The person is probably thinking there is no light at the end of the tunnel.
More importantly, when a person is in a constant state of worry, his heart is probably not restful. When the heart is stressed in a negative manner and left unattended, the result is usually fatal. Even when good things are happening around the person, the person will fail to see these good things and rejoice in the fact that good things are happen.
The bible tells us that a sound heart is life to the body. A tranquil heart is life to the body. When a heart is restful, even the perfect storm will not be able to cause it to ruffle! When a person's is at rest, he will not sense heat even when heat comes. Meaning, even if bad things happen, a person whose heart is at rest will not feel the impact of those bad things.
Now, if a person doesn't worry, does that mean that person will be happy? Happiness is a choice, not a matter of circumstances. If a person choose to be happy, he will be happy even there are things that are bothersome. He can be merry and be at rest even facing the adversity head on.
Jesus had bequeathed His Shalom peace to Christians. We have the Shalom peace of God. Be conscious of this Shalom peace. Be conscious of the finished work of Jesus Christ at the cross. The more we are conscious of that, the more we can rejoice being alive and be happy! Hallelujah!
