The Lengths Men Will Go To!

Key Scripture: “Can any of you add a single cubit to his height by worrying?” (Matthew 6:27).

In this fascinating Scripture passage, Jesus highlights that human effort and anxiety cannot overcome physical limitations. This verse is part of the Sermon on the Mount, teaching that God cares for human needs (such as food and clothing), rendering anxious worry useless.

However, this has not stopped some men from attempting to add cubits to their height. When we discuss the topic of identity, or how we see ourselves and what we value as most important in our lives, it is critical to remember that for the believer, identity must be grounded in the person and work of Jesus Christ. Basing your identity on any thing or any person other than Jesus Christ is to build your life on quicksand.

Physical exercise is important. All of us should be involved in a little more temple upkeep. Dressing well and exercising good grooming habits is also important. We don’t want to needlessly offend.

People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” (1 Samuel 16:7)
