This lesson teaches us how to have Freedom From Worry. It's interesting that the word worry means to harass by repeated biting or snapping. That’s the same way I'd describe an animal attacking another animal. While I hadn’t thought of the word in that fashion, it is an apt description. We can become like that if we aren’t careful. Thoughts can surround us and nip at our heels. Once we turn to address one thought, the next one comes and attacks us from behind. Having fear of something can be good. Fear can make you stay away from something that can-do harm to you. But when it causes you to stop doing the things that can help you, it becomes a problem. Jesus has given each of us a job as well. We are to spread the gospel to the entire world. We can’t afford to be distracted by other things. We can’t afford to allow a healthy fear to turn into an unhealthy worry that paralyzes us and keeps us from our task. We need to take those worries to Jesus, leave them at his feet, and walk away.
