------DON'T PANIC!
~~The Lord is very patient with his children. He actually invites us, "Bring forth your strong reason" (Isaiah 41:21/ NKJV), meaning that it is fine to have moments of questioning. We might receive some sudden, awful news; the death of a loved one, a pending divorce of a son or daughter, the unfaithfulness of a mate. In such moments, God sends the Holy Spirit to bring us comfort, ease our pain and settle our hearts. Our Lord feels every jolt of pain, fear, and panic that strikes us. God sees every detail of your crisis, and He sees all the life-problems pressing in on you. Those who pray and wait on Him with calm faith are never in any real danger. Moreover, he knows your panicky thoughts, and yet His command to you holds true, "Don't panic or get ahead of Me. You are to do nothing but pray and rely on Me. I honor everyone who puts his trust in Me. You are Mine. I hold you in the palm of My nail-pierced hands." Consider these words God has given to his church: "Trust in the Lord with all of your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths" (Proverbs 3: 5-6).
Unbelief is deadly, its after effects tragic. We face dire consequences if we try to extricate ourselves from our trials instead of trusting God to see us through. Jesus came to break our chains of legalism and deliver us from our shackles. But first we must admit our sin. When we confess our unbelief and then cast our future, our freedom, and our deliverance wholly into Jesus' care, He will arrive on time. Our part is to do nothing but trust Him! ~~--World Challenge/DW~---"PEACE"// We The Kingdom [lyrics] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UREG0ZRhlY ~~~~~~~
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." [John 14:6]
