THE LORD’S POINT OF VIEW

” YOU ARE SEEING THINGS FROM A HUMAN POINT OF VIEW, AND NOT FROM GOD’S.” MARK 8:33

“ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE IF A PERSON BELIEVES.” MARK 9:23

Following the ways of Jesus seems like something that is rather easy to do. However, I know from personal experience that it is not quite that easy. Yes, all we have to do is believe with our heart that Jesus is our Lord and Savior and that he died for our sins. As we acknowledge that before our God and others we are saved. However, as we continue to live in this world it is important that we begin to prove our salvation. We are to live lives that show Jesus and his ways. We are to trust him for all things and believe in his promises. If we do these things, our lives on this earth become so much easier, because we are not depending on ourselves or others for answers but instead depending on our God in heaven only. We are to lay our problems at his feet and then leave them with him. But I know that I am very good at picking them up and taking them with me after I lay them at his feet. I then continue to worry, doubt and fear. We are human and he has given us feelings & emotions. As followers of Christ, we love others and want to help them. However, we need to recognize that our Lord is the answer and not us. Our trust in him must become immovable. We cannot allow the devil to steal away our faith and total trust in our Lord by convincing us with his lies. We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. But we must trust him to give us that strength. We must trust him to ease our pain and loneliness. We must trust him for all of our answers because his is our one and only God in heaven! His plan is perfect! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
