Afraid

 

Afraid

Psalm 34:4, Matthew 10:28, 2 Timothy 1:7, Hebrews 13:5,6

“The Lord will deliver you from all your fears.” Psalm 3:4.

“God does not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7

“The Lord is my helper, I will not fear. What can man do to me?” Hebrews 13:5,6.

“Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both body and soul in hell.” Matthew 10:28             

Being afraid can cause a fight or flight reaction. Take thought to take a deep breath and slow down your adrenalin. Ask yourself where the fear is coming from. We know it is not from God; therefore, it must be coming from our own thought process. A person can talk their self into a panic attack. That is by what-iffing.  What if I get sick? What if I embarrass myself or if I embarrass those around me. We must turn that negative thinking into: What if I go and have a great time? What if I am strong and keep my focus on what is around me and not on myself? Our thoughts can either make us or break us, that is why God tells us to take every thought captive. 2 Corinthians 10:5. Most anticipatory anxiety turns out to be nothing at all, not what we expected. Now if there is a bull charging you, then panic, that is the time to RUN!

Adversity

 

Adversity

 

Matthew 10:16-39

There will be times of adversity. Times when people will curse you, abuse you, or speak unkind words to and about you. Do not retaliate but pray to God and ask Him to fight this battle for you.

 Ask Him to give you the right words to speak and discernment to know when to speak and when to be silent. Some things we just need to walk away from. Other times we need to stand strong and hold on to God’s words. Don’t be fearful of people, whether they will hurt you or not. Put on the armor of God and He will shield you. If they kill your body, your soul is safe in God’s hands.

 If you stand strong in God’s promises, your soul will be saved. If you do not stand strong in God, then fear Him, for He can kill not only the body, but your soul tool.

God tells us that we will have troubles, but we are not to be afraid because He promises that He will never leave us or forsake us. Hebrews 13:5. Let us not lean upon ourselves but lean on God and allow Him to fight our battles for us. His ways are always the better ways.

Just as He told the Israelites to be still and know that He is God, He tells us the same. Psalm 46:10.

We live in troubled times, but God is all powerful and He protects His own. He is stronger than the winds or any storm that comes our way. Trust Him and He will take care of us.

Adultery

 

Adultery

Matthew 6:19-34

“Seek first the Kingdom of God.” There is no other place or person that will meet your needs than our Father in Heaven. There is no need to look elsewhere when we seek God first.

God knows what you need before you ask. He knows your heart, whether it is filled with light or darkness. Fill it with the light of God and all your needs will be met. God knows what is best for you. It may not look the same as we see it, but it is always much better than we see it. You cannot live in the light and the darkness at the same time. It does not co-exist.

You cannot serve two masters, both man and God without hating one or the other. You must choose this day for which you will serve. If you serve God, there is no need to look elsewhere.

God provides our clothes, our food just as He provides for the birds of the air. Have faith and trust in God, whether it be about our food, what we wear, our problems in our marriage, our problems in life in general.

Today is sufficient for itself so it is important that we live for today, not in the past or the future but minute by minute, day-by-day. Start with this day, accept God and live for Him and He will take care of you.

Please read the scriptures listed, study them, apply them to your life and grow in the saving relationship with Jesus Christ our Savior.
