Tycoon-ism: “Every tomorrow has two handles. We can take hold of it with the handle of anxiety or the handle of faith.” – Henry Ward Beecher
In almost all religious beliefs, and more emphasized in Christianity, worrying is a form of sin. But in a world where a state of constancy is never a sure thing, and change is, it is not surprising that we all tend to wonder how things will be in the future. We put up hedge funds and buy insurance if only appease our worrisome nature. But how can we stop worrying? If we look closely at our anxiety, we can figure that it only applies when we think of it as bigger than we are. After all, why would we worry about something that we can handle? So worrying becomes a sin only because we tend to think of our problems as bigger than God. Faith steps in as a means to cut this burden of anxiety from us. When we let go of the future, believing by faith that although we cannot control it but Someone higher than us can, we get the full benefits of the blessings of today.
