The Heir and the slave

Anxiety is a spiritual epidemic. It destroys any act of faith, drains the person’s physical and spiritual energy and pollutes everyone who is around the victim.

Often, this curse is born from an innocent — yet senseless — little question. It accidentally on purpose spreads when someone asks:

– Hi! How are you? How is everything?

This is the start of an anemic conversation.

– So, what’s up? Do you have a boyfriend? When are you getting married?

Many who have failed at love are used to contaminate others with their frustrations.
Their objective has nothing to do with their friend’s well-being. What they really want is to open up that almost healed wound, bring back the desire to accomplish something that no longer occupied their thoughts and take away any peace of mind they’ve achieved by faith so far.

It is pure evil.

That’s right. Just like this example, many other kinds of insinuations are made with the intention of causing anxiety.

The Lord Jesus did not suggest we disregard our anxieties, but He advised us about them with the following commandment: "Be anxious for nothing" (Matthew 6:25; Philippians 4:6)

In order to neutralize the spirit of anxiety, you should know that God does not give His children what they want; He gives them what they need.

Why would you give a child a motorcycle, when he doesn’t even know how to ride a bicycle? Only an irresponsible person would do that!

Forget, run away from and resist your anxieties and God will give you everything that you are ready to receive and much more.

Meditate on this verse:

"Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a slave, though he is master of all, but is under guardians and stewards until the time appointed by the father." (Galatians 4:1,2)
