IN TIME OF TROUBLE, CHAOS, AND CONFUSION DON’T FALL FOR LIES, LUST, AND ILLUSIONS: TRUST AND LEAN HEAVILY, ON THE LORD
Leaning on God is the key to knowing His word, will, and way; to growing in our faith and relationship with and in Him. God’s all powerful! His power is such, that it will be instrumental in the change of our mindset, actions, heart, situation and life. He has the final control in a world where we have none. And when we cannot find an answer for questions, He has the answers; His plans for us are certain.
Don’t be foolish enough to fall for delusions of greatness and prosperity offered by a man. And don’t you, as a child of God, use His words to substantiate evil nor to appease those who want others to believe they are doing the will of God, but are not because they do not believe. Nor are you to allow your gifts, talents, and blessings to be used by them in foul and ungodly ways. So, look to God, through Jesus for the truth regarding all the answers you seek. And then lean on Him for understanding and in what direction to proceed. Because in the end, when you follow an ungodly person, he/she will throw you under the bus; you are the one who gets hurt and will suffer the consequences from Adonai (God). (Matthew 7:6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you).
When God tell us something we can count on it as truth. And in doing so, be encouraged by His Words and inspired by His Son, our Saviour’s action to do His will and walk in His way. In God’s present and protection (He is always with you) we are not to fear anything, especially another man; being concerned and enlightened is altogether different; you are aware of the situation, and the severity of it but you know who holds the answer. You know that God will give you the strength to go through any trial, trouble, or situation put before you; you need not be discouraged but just believe this to be true. (Isaiah 41:10 “Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.”)
It is no secret to those who put their hope in Elohim, that we, don’t just talk of God’s goodness and praise Him for bringing us through but give praise and honor at all times; when we are faced with the same, similar, or completely different trials, and troubles, when we run into that same brick wall, when we fall into the same old trap of the devil, the path becomes cloudy. We, again, are hardheaded and have a tendency to complain and entertaining confusion while going around the same old mountain of unbelief, distrust, and no hope in our Father. It is during this time that you must stop and ask the question “why I continue to go around the same old mountain yet not see any different results?” Well, it could be due to the fact that you are doing the same old thing, listening to the same old people, speaking the same old negative words. You have put God in the back of the closet of your mind until “you” feel you need Him. And of course, expecting a different result – could that be insanity? The trajectory of your lean has been rerouted and you have given up on your service to His kingdom (know this, God never leave nor forsake us even though we let go of His unchanging hand). Now you are becoming frustrated with the chaos and confusion you are constantly confronted with. Even though the problem may not disappear or even change, it is refreshing and strengthening to know that God’s goodness is shone daily, to everyone. He showed His unfailing love first, and the ultimate way, through the sacrifice of His only Son, Jesus. And now He continues to show it with His grace and mercies which are renewed every day because He loves all that He has created. (Psalm 9:9-10: The Lord is a shelter for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. Those who know your name trust in you, for you, O Lord, do not abandon those who search for you. (Psalm 145:9: The Lord is good to everyone. He showers compassion on all his creation).
In Him and only in Him, regardless of what the world is doing, the mess man is making, or we, as individual have made, there is true peace, to experience. This strength and peace have been given by Jesus (and always can be counted on) at the time you need it most, especially when almost everything around you (as today) are in an uproar and all out of sorts. We are not to worry but pray about everything. God has done, is doing, and will do great things in your life; you must thank Him and show gratitude and tell Him what you want and need. This communication shows our Father that you trust, depend, and want to lean on Him; to have a life of abundance, in every area, we must lean on God and follow Jesus’ footsteps toward eternity. Trust God to the end of everything! (John 16:33: “I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.” Philippians 4:6-7 6 Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need and, thank him for all he has done. 7 Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus).
When you wake each morning make it up in your mind that throughout the day, you are going to conscientiously, make an all-out effort to lean on and trust in God, in Jesus’ name. Know that you and I are not capable of maneuvering this sin-filled world on our own; we need the LORD. (Philippians 4:13: For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength).
So, in these times of trouble, chaos, and confusion we cannot fall for the enemy ‘s snares (perpetrated using others, through lies, lust, and illusions) set in front of us, by those who do not have God in their heart or own their mind. When we follow Jesus’ teachings and examples, His instructions, commandments, and orders that are meant to guide our behavior or action, on how to live, we will not get caught up in the world and its deception and destruction. We will see through all the mess and mayhem; we will understand why it is happening and God’s purpose behind it. Because all that God put before us, no matter how we see or don’t understand, it is used as a light, to guide and make known that which is in the dark. When we commit to God, all that we have, He will help us not to engage in ungodly activities (do the wrong thing). And because of what He has promised, when you submit yourself to Him and His Word (Jesus), guided by the Holy Spirit, you can trust that everything He does, in your life, is for your good. You have the best inheritance forever; this alone should cause your heart to leap for joy. You have chosen to trust in and lean on God in every season of your life; walking through your desert, on the mountain top, in the valley, or enduring the raging storms, acknowledging Him for Who He is, for your everything; for all your understanding!
(Psalm 119:105-106, 110-111 105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. 106 I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments. 110 The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy precepts. 111 Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart). (Proverbs 3:5-6 5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths).
GOD’S GOT IT NO WORRY NO FEAR.
