We are living in extreme days, but please know that there is always hope.
If you are feeling fearful, remember 2 Timothy 1:7:
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”
If you are feeling lonely, remember Hebrews 13:5b:
If you are feeling lonely, remember Hebrews 13:5b:
“For God Himself has said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you.’”
If you are feeling worried, remember Matthew 6:31-34:
“Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
Matthew 6:31-34 set to music :)
If you are feeling overwhelmed by the trouble in the world, remember John 16:33
Jesus said: “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
It might seem strange, but it reassures me that we have not been promised perfect lives. We will have trouble in this sinful, fallen world, but Jesus has overcome the world. We can have peace in knowing that through His death and His resurrection we can have eternal life with Him.
John 16:32 -- just one verse prior Jesus says "A time is coming and in fact has come when you will be scattered, each to your own home."
This was said to the disciples, but it feels like Jesus' message of peace is being spoken directly to us at this time when we are all scattered to our own homes. Please remember -- Jesus' peace is for you.
If you have questions about Jesus and how to have eternal life with Him in Heaven, please ask. If you know Jesus personally, please share the good news with others!
