Commentary
Anxieties
of Daily Life
Jesus
warns us of three things that can make our hearts “drowsy”:
carousing, drunkenness, and the anxieties of daily life. The first
two might be obvious, but the anxieties of daily life? Yet, compared
to the first two, this third element is probably more prevalent for
people of faith and those who strive to live a morally and
religiously decent life.
When
we are anxious about daily life, it is often because we forget and
fail to believe in God's presence and loving providence for us.
On
the contrary, when we trust in the Lord, even the midst of trails and
upheavals, we will be able to “stand erect and raise our heads”
knowing that the Lord is with us, and “redemption is at hand.”
