FEARING THE WORLD AROUND US

” FEARING PEOPLE IS A DANGEROUS TRAP, BUT TRUSTING THE LORD MEANS SAFETY. ” PROVERBS 29:25

There is so much fear in this world today that if we take our eyes off of Jesus it can become overwhelming. Christians today are being persecuted from every direction. We are being overcome with intimidation, lies, cheating, threats of prison, threats of death and on and on and on. If we don’t keep our eyes focused on our Lord Jesus the persecutions will influence and overcome our thoughts and the way we act. The Lord tells us to cling to Jesus and never let go. We should cling to his every word and live our lives as he directs. We should surround ourselves with his every thought. This becomes harder and harder the more we are out in the world each day living our lives. It is easy to become swayed by the way others are living, talking and acting. That is the reason it is so important to trust in the Lord, cling to his every word and never let go. With every opportunity we have we must read his word, pray and praise him. We must fight hard to keep him first in our lives. It doesn’t matter how evil our surroundings become if we are trusting God in our lives. He is our safety net. He picks us up when we fall. He forgives us when we make mistakes. He surrounds us with his Holy angels. We must never let go of what we have in Jesus. Trust in Jesus is safety and success but trust in the world is doubt, worry, fear and failure. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THNGS!
