Joshua 1: 9
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous, Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.
It is no secret that we are living in tough times. When people think about their future, jobs, health, and politics and how it all affects their lives, they have a tendency to despair. Is there an answer? Let's take a look.
The first thing to consider. satan is the reason for everything bad in this world. All of this is because of sin, and satan is the king of sin. If you focus on the negative things in this world, you'll get depressed, and get worse over time. As you focus more and more on what is, and what you expect, molehills become mountains. You can start to think and do negative things that feed your fears. It is a no-win situation. Denying satan exists doesn't make him go away, it is still him putting those thoughts in your head causing you to despair.
Matthew 6: 25
Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing!
If you focus on God, you rise above what most people see and worry about. You start to see things the way God sees them. when you read His Word and believe. Yes, God does exist, and He knows you exist.
When Egypt was going through all of the plagues during the time of Moses, the children of Israel were untouched. God protected them in the midst of all that was going on. God does allow what goes on, for our good in some way, at some point in time.
Romans 8 : 28
And we know that for those who love God, all things work together for good for those who are called according to His purpose.
The Bible shows us who God is and how much He loves us. satan tries to deceive us about God, by saying that even the Old Testament shows how mean, cruel, and unjust He is. A lot of baloney.
If you study the Old Testament, you will find that everything God did, was aimed at protecting the people from satan, and unbelievers who worship false gods.
Here is an idea. Try very hard to believe that God knows your situation, and He will help you if you let Him. Don't do it for 10 minutes, 10 hours, 10 days, and give up. Everything happens in God's time. He never turns down sincere prayer so don't get discouraged. He does not operate on people time He operates on His time. Remember this. He did not create us so He could hurt us. Let this verse sink in, and focus on Jesus and His love for you
John 3:16 - 17
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through Him.
God bless you and your family.
Remember Jesus loves you.
Prayer of Salvation.
Lord Jesus, please forgive all of my sins, and come into my heart as my personal savior. I want to serve only you.
Praise the Lord!
Amen
