THROUGH THE EYES OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

” IF YOU MAKE THE LORD YOUR REFUGE, IF YOU MAKE THE MOST HIGH YOUR SHELTER, NO EVIL WILL CONQUER YOU; NO PLAGUE WILL COME NEAR YOUR HOME. ” PSALM 91: 9-10

I have made it a practice to read Psalm 91 each and every day. I am sure that there are others who do the same. It contains such calming promises from our God. In order for us to be able to live by any and all promises from the Lord it is necessary that we eliminate all doubt, worry and fear from our lives. If we are intertwined within the worries and struggles of this world, then we are allowing fear and doubt in. Faith and doubt cannot exist in the same place at the same time. It is wise that we keep up with worldly affairs so that we know what is happening. The question is how to do this without becoming intimately involved with the world and its ways. The answer to that question lies within the presence of the Holy Spirit. If we watch the news or listen to others speaking about worldly events, we must keep in mind that we are not of this world. When we hear the things that are happening, we should be listening as though we are watching and listening from afar. We should be watching and listening with the trust that our God in heaven is in total control and has his children and their needs at the forefront of all that he does. If we totally trust in what our Lord says through his many promises for our lives, then we can look at the world today with confidence that we will succeed through Christ. No matter the situation we find ourselves in He is with us. He promises to go before us. All we have to do is trust him and let him work through us. If we are watching and listening to the world through the eyes and ears of the Holy Spirit, we will be led and directed to succeed. We should not fear but we should listen, read, meditate and pray. There is a great ending for those who trusts in the Lord! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
