Judge Not, Lest You Become Mentally Ill!

Saturday, March 13, 2021

David H. Fink served thousands of patients as psychiatrist for the Veteran's Administration. Many of them suffered with overwhelming anxiety. Searching for a cure for anxiety, Fink studied two groups. The first group suffered from serious anxiety. The second group was free of such tensions. Studying the anxiety-riddled group, a common trait emerged; they were constant fault-finders and habitual critics of the people and things around them. The people of the anxiety-free group were just the opposite, the least fault-finding and critical. These results indicated that fault-finding and criticizing were a prelude to being anxious and even mentally disturbed. Fink's study bore out what God's Word says, "Rejoice in the Lord always, give thanks in all things, dwell on what is good and pure, and the peace of God will guard your heart and mind." Do you want freedom from anxiety, to have joy and peace? Then follow God's Word and stop complaining and criticizing. Start dwelling on the things of God. You always knew it was holy. Now you know it's healthy as well. rn
