May God have
pity on us and bless us; may he let his face shine upon us.
No one of us has not
experienced trouble or problems in life.
Everyone has. The only difference
is on how each one of us confronted these challenges. Some may have given up easily. But, I do hope that most of us faced the
issue head on and managed to get through it all.
Though our minds are often fairly quickly
convinced that the problem is manageable, our emotions generally continue to be
troubled for some time after. Though we
cannot escape troubles in this world, we should do our best to make our hearts
as still as the depths of the sea.
Because of our troubled hearts, we cannot
enjoy the blessings that we receive, our health is affected, and our ability to
work effectively is affected too. Christians
with troubled hearts cannot experience the joy of the Lord, are poor
testimonies, and poor workers for Him.
We need to take God at His word. As
Christians, God takes residence inside us and begins to reveal to us his plan
for our lives. God has given us the
user's manual of life. All we need is to
read it, practice it and live our lives through it.
If you're discontent, worried, anxious,
bewildered, perplexed, confused, agitated, or otherwise in need of comfort, the
reason is that you don't trust Him like you should.
If you really trust
Christ, what do you have to worry about?
"Let not your
heart be troubled". If there is a
single central message in Jesus' words, it is that the basis of comfort is
simple, trusting faith.
Let us pray +
Almighty Father, I praise Your name and I
shout out with joy for Your presence in my life. We are not helpless, we are certainly not
weak, for we are Your children. Turn our
hearts toward worship, praise, and thanksgiving. To You be all the honor and glory! Amen +
O God, let all the nations praise you!
