Exhortation #32

"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God..." (Phil. 4:6)

When the Crystal Palace Exhibition opened in 1851, people flocked to London's Hyde Park to behold the marvels. One of the greatest marvels back then was steam. Steam plows were displayed. Steam locomotives. Steam looms. Steam organs. Even a steam cannon. Of all the great exhibits that year, the first-prize winner was a steam invention with seven thousand parts. When it was turned on, its pulleys, whistles, bells, and gears made a lot of noise, but, ironically, the contraption didn't do a thing. It had seven thousand moving parts making a lot of commotion, but having no practical use. Perhaps our lives are somewhat like that worthless machine. We seem to be running in every direction, worried about this and that, and making a lot of noise, but accomplishing nothing. Let us stop being anxious about a lot of things that don't really matter, and focus on things which are truly important.
