worry about the future is not simply a character tic, it is the sin of unbelief‏

Just when you thought you had run out of things to repent of along comes this marrow-splitter:

"Worry about the future is not simply a character tic, it is the sin of unbelief,an indication that our hearts are not resting in the promises of God." - Kevin DeYoung

Unbelief sounds a bit harsh, doesn’t it?

I worry a lot.

Now I’m worried that I worry too much.

Our primary worry about the future is often that things will not go as well for us as we would have them go for ourselves if we were in control of our futures.

Can you begin to see the unbelief and sin in that?
