What if . . .

It is time again to add a scripture to your journal!

Our Bible study, "Calm My Anxious Heart" has been a really good one! Linda Dillow states in our most recent chapter that there are two spiritual diseases: "What if?" and "If only". They are similar in that they both lack the eyes of faith! The "What If's" were the focus for this chapter. We have all suffered from "What if . . .", it is a form of worry! The study outlines three steps in handling the "What if's".

1. Ask yourself what is the worst that can possibly happen?
2. Prepare to accept it if you have to.
3. Calmly proceed to improve on the worst.

Is this biblical? As Dillow points out in an example, Paul was faced with death daily, the worst his enemies could do to him. "For me, to live is Christ and to die is gain." Philippians 1:21. After accepting this, "to die is gain", he boldy continued to spread the word of God!
