Luke 24:38
And he said unto them, ” Why are you troubled? And why do doubts arise in your hearts?”
Yesterday at my company, we had the worst day that we have had in many years. Hardly any business came in – the day was filled with various trouble and to end the day – I found out that someone had stolen from me – that I was trying to help out!
James 1:2 comes to mind.
My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.
You know, the more I live in this life, the more I realize something. The life that is lived here is about basically a few things.
1. It is about me being purified and made into the likeness of Jesus Christ.
2. It is about Trusting God. How else can I become adept at trusting Him – with Real contentment in my heart – without the opportunity to do so. God in His providence is always challenging us in this area.
3. It is about my holiness. Be ye holy – For I am Holy. He is the only one who can open up a heart to be holy.
I am not to be troubled -but to trust Him. Trusting God to the degree that I no longer Fear – and am anxious is the only remedy to life’s troubles. Trust God – and Do what you know to do. Do what is already revealed and God will with hold no good thing from you.
