About this listen

This episode confronts worry as a popular yet often unacknowledged sin, because anxiety reflects distrust in God’s promise to work all things for good for His people. Recalling the storm on the Sea of Galilee, the author notes that Jesus rebuked His terrified disciples not only by calming the wind but by exposing their fear as “no faith.” Since Christ has already accomplished the greatest act—our redemption—caring for our daily needs is a small matter for Him. Worrying, therefore, is a refusal to trust and obey. The writer urges believers, when tempted to fret, to remember that Christ has taken them “on board,” likening salvation to an unsinkable ark. To worry in His care is not only unnecessary but sinful, because the central reality is not our problems but the Lord’s steadfast protection and presence.
