anxiety

A little boy came to his mother, saying, "Mamma, I am as tall as Goliath; I am nine feet high."  "What makes you say that?" asked the surprised mother. "Well, I made a ruler and measured myself with it, and I am just nine feet high!" 

There are many people who follow the little boy's method, measuring themselves by some rule of their own.  How are you measuring yourself?

(Psa 127:1 NKJV)  Unless the LORD builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the LORD guards the city, The watchman stays awake in vain.
