When you are facing troubles, temptations, or other trials, what do you do? We all know we should turn to God, but sometimes we underestimate just how much He can and will help us. So no matter what you’re facing today, trust in Him, ask Him for help, and thank Him for all He has given you.
“In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.” – Psalm 86:7
“I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten.” – Joel 2:25
Many terrible things happen in life, but God will always be there for us. Pray for those affected by tragedy, for the Lord to help them through terrible times. He gives all of us strength, we MUST trust in Him!
“Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” – Isaiah 41:10
We are at war; a war with our enemy Satan. The terrorists you see are his agents… But the good news is that God promises to fight our battles for us.Though there may be many voices of alarm warning us to be afraid of events we see happening all over the world, we are not meant to live afraid. Let’s be confident in God’s promise of protection…
“A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked. If you make the Most High your dwelling– even the LORD, who is my refuge– then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent. For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.” – Psalm 91:7-12
Here is a Biblical lesson for those who are in a state of fear and confusion as they face the enemy. The people of Ammon, Moab and Mount Seir plotted together to come against Jehoshaphat and, he calls a fast in all of Judah so that they can seek the Lord and ask for His help. This was a man who knew where to turn to for help. In fact, one of the scriptures we love to quote comes from this very story. Jahaziel son of Zechariah spoke by the power of the Holy Spirit…
“He said: “Listen, King Jehoshaphat and all who live in Judah and Jerusalem! This is what the Lord says to you: ‘Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God’s.” – 2 Chronicles 20:15
God beholds everything we do – whether in the open or in private. This may be a disturbing thought, especially at this pre-judgement season, which will also pass! It could lead us to despair. However, God, not only sees and remembers, but also forgives and remembers no more, when we come to Him in repentance and confession. Take note and be warned…
“There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known. What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs.” – Luke 12:2-3
As believers we have been transformed from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of light. This means we have a new nature, a new form, a new way of life and new principles that govern the way we operate. Though we are in this world we are not of this world…
“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” – Romans 12:2
A sponge soaked in water becomes soft and pliable. When we soak our mind, thoughts, and heart in the Word of God, we are focusing on life itself—the life of Christ that empowers and drives us to accomplish God’s purpose for us…
“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.” – Colossians 3:16
Ultimately, let’s transform this world into a healthier and better place to live in and work… https://shopneolife.com/050-6642618
“Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear. Perhaps the action you take will be successful; perhaps different action or adjustments will have to follow. But any action is better than no action at all.” ― Norman Vincent Peale
