When our girls were young, we wouldn’t let them play in the street because of cars. We knew the danger that was there. If we were with them, we could let them ride their bikes in the street.
A lot of people let their hearts be troubled including 85% of the church according to Dr. Neil Anderson. So much of our conversations revolve around and contain fear and trouble instead of faith and peace. We make many of life’s decisions based on fear. Fear destroys so much of life if we let it.
Jesus wants us to know that, as Christians, we are not to let our hearts be troubled like we let them be troubled when we were in and of the world, you know, before we came to Him and made Him our Savior, our Savior from trouble and fear as well.
We no longer need to let our hearts be troubled. Why? Because He’s with us and is working all things together for our good. We can be in the world, but we no longer need to be of the world letting our heart be troubled. We’re His and He’s overcome the world. He’s overcome trouble. Through faith in Jesus, we can stop trouble before it reaches our heart.
Jesus wants us to stop letting our hearts be troubled. He wants us to trust Him in all things because He knows we can if we’ll be obedient to trust Him.
Let’s be different. Let’s live free in Jesus. Let’s shine His light in a world that too easily lets trouble into their hearts. And maybe, just maybe, those who don’t know they can stop letting their hearts be troubled will want Jesus.
My peace I give unto you. His kind of supernatural peace that only He can give us. Mmm…
You no longer need to let your heart be troubled. It’s true in Jesus. He’s with us.
God bless,
Mark
Note: While we may not agree with everything a particular church or Christian group teaches or believes, there are times when we can be blessed by something outside the realm of our current understanding of God.
